About

Paul Michael Romer, born on November 6, 1955, in Denver, Colorado, is an American economist known for his contributions to economic growth theory. He pursued his education at Phillips Exeter Academy, the University of Chicago, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, ultimately receiving his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago in 1983. His early academic career included positions at the University of Rochester, University of Chicago, University of California, Berkeley, and Stanford University. Romer’s primary work focuses on integrating technological innovations into long-run macroeconomic analysis, demonstrating how knowledge and new ideas can drive sustained economic growth and how economic forces influence the production of these ideas.

Romer’s career progression highlights a blend of academic rigor, entrepreneurial ventures, and public service. In 1990, he published his central theory on how ideas differ from other goods and require specific conditions to thrive in a market, a concept that laid the groundwork for endogenous growth theory. Beyond academia, Romer founded Aplia in 2001, an education technology company that provided online problem sets for college students, which was later acquired by Cengage Learning in 2007. He also served as Chief Economist at the World Bank from October 2016 until January 2018. His contributions were recognized with the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2018, shared with William Nordhaus, “for integrating technological innovations into long-run macroeconomic analysis.”

In addition to his academic and World Bank roles, Romer founded the Marron Institute of Urban Management at NYU, aiming to assist cities in planning for future development and improving citizen well-being. He also initiated the Charter Cities concept, proposing new frameworks for governance to stimulate economic growth in developing countries. His work extends to public policy, advising governments and legislators on education, urbanization, and innovation. Currently, he is a Seidner University Professor in Finance at Boston College, continuing to influence economic thought and policy.
