Matthew Jaremski is the F. Ross Peterson Professor of Economic History in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University and a Faculty Research Fellow of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Matthew received his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in 2010. He has held positions at Colgate University and the Office of Financial Research at the U.S. Treasury. His research focuses on understanding the financial dynamics that underlie or follow macroeconomic events by looking at the historical U.S. financial system. The historical period provides a unique environment for studying the financial system as the majority of banks were regulated by their state legislature, printed their own money, were highly susceptible to bank runs, and had little ability to receive emergency liquidity in times of distress. His research has been published in leading academic journals in both Economics and Finance including the Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking, Journal of Financial Intermediation, and Journal of Economic History.
Prof. Jaremski is visiting the Department of Economics in the Economic History program for the Fall 2024 semester.
