Ebehireme Iyoha, PhD ’21
Harvard School of Business and the U.S. Fed (Boston)
Ebehi Iyoha’s research applies network theory to the study of firm-to-firm interactions within and across countries’ borders. In her dissertation, she explores how US publicly-listed companies are affected by the efficiency of their customers and suppliers. Her research finds that central firms in the production network—such as General Motors, AT&T and Walmart—can have large impacts on the productivity of the US economy through their buyer-supplier relationships. Her work also assesses the influence of US multinationals on the performance of US domestic firms, and examines the impact of the US-China trade war on importer-exporter relationships in Latin America.
Upon graduation, Ebehi will spend a year as a Research Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. In 2022, she will join the Entrepreneurial Management Unit at Harvard Business School as an Assistant Professor where she will teach a section of a first-year MBA course, “The Entrepreneurial Manager.”
Harold Chiang, PhD’20
Assistant Professor of Economics, University of Wisconsin-Madison
As an econometrician, Harold works on bridging the division between cutting-edge econometric theory and the frontiers of empirical economic research. The tools developed in Harold’s research can be applied to different empirical economic questions in education, labor economics, international trade, and industrial organization, among others.
