Patrick Bayer is Assistant Professor of Economics at Yale University. He was born in Chicago, IL. He received his B.A. in Mathematics from Princeton University in 1994 and his Ph.D. in Economics from Stanford University in 1999. He has been on the faculty at Yale since 1999. Professor Bayer's research focuses on a series of issues in public and urban economics including the causes and consequences of residential segregation, sorting and competition in local schooling markets, juvenile crime and corrections, and issues related to urban housing and labor markets. A common thread in this research relates to the identification of social interactions in models of individual decision-making, including, for instance, models of social learning in juvenile correctional facilities, neighborhood sorting in urban housing markets, and neighborhood effects in the labor market.
