Dr. Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham is an Assistant Professor of Finance at Yale School of Management. His research interests include household finance, corporate finance, econometrics, and social networks. His current work focuses on three strands of research: 1) consumer debt, bankruptcy and housing, and how these interact with issues of discrimination and government policy; 2) econometrics research focused on clarifying existing tools for causal inference; and 3) Covid-19 research related to quarantines and the spread of the virus, and how to nudge/inform populations re: the virus. Before joining Yale in 2018, Dr. Goldsmith-Pinkham was a Research Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

In a prior life, he was a very serious ultimate frisbee player.
