Robert Shimer is an influential American macroeconomist and labor economist, born on August 21, 1968. He holds the Alvin H. Baum Chair in the Economics Department at the University of Chicago and served as an editor for the Journal of Political Economy from 2004 to 2012. Shimer's research emphasizes the search and matching theory in labor economics, particularly challenging the standard labor market matching model's ability to predict unemployment fluctuations, leading to what is known as the Shimer puzzle. His book, 'Labor Markets and Business Cycles,' offers new insights into labor market volatility.
