Martin Beraja

Acting Associate Professor, UC Berkeley Haas School of Business
Economic Analysis & Policy Group

I am an economist who studies the role of government policy in stabilizing business cycles and responding to the challenges posed by digital and AI technologies. I have tackled these questions by sometimes developing theory, sometimes using novel data and empirics, but most often by bringing the two together. I earned my PhD from the University of Chicago in 2016 and joined MIT in 2017 after spending one year at Princeton University. I joined UC Berkeley in 2025. I received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 2023, the foundation's most prestigious award for early career faculty.
