Matthew Jaremski

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 Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Matthew received his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University in 2010. Before joining USU, he was an Associate Professor of Economics at Colgate University. He has also held visiting positions at the Office of Financial Research at the U.S. Treasury, Queens University, and Yale University, and currently serves on several distinguished editorial boards including the Journal of Financial Intermediation, Journal of Economic History, and Explorations in Economic History.

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, 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, and Journal of Economic History.
