Joshua Fischman joined our faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2006. Professor Fischman obtained an A.B. in Mathematics, magna cum laude, from Princeton in 1994, a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1999, and a Ph.D. in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2006. His main area of research is the important growing field of law and economics.
