"[I]t is distressing how often one can guess the answer given to an economic question merely by knowing who asked it."
-George J. Stigler, 1946
Welcome to Nick Pretnar Postdoctoral Scholar
Nick Pretnar is visiting LAEF as a postdoctoral scholar for the 2020-2022 academic year. Nick’s research spans a variety of subjects pertaining to consumption, consumer behavior, and household finance. He has used behavioral economics to explore household budgeting decisions, but also home production and classic macroeconomic general equilibrium theory to explain the rise in U.S. services consumption. Always open to starting new projects or discussing economics, Nick is available virtually for Zoom chats or in-person for backyard beers. He can be reached by email at npretnar@ucsb.edu
