Timothy Bartik Biography

American economist Timothy J. Bartik is an expert in labor economics, public finance, urban economics, regional economics, and labor demand policy. He works as a senior economist at the Kalamazoo, Michigan-based W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. Local labor markets and state and local economic growth are the main topics of Dr. Bartik's study. This covers studies on the impact of job-creation initiatives and early childcare programs on regional economies. Who Benefits from State and Municipal Economic Growth Policies? by Bartik, published in 1991, is frequently acknowledged as a significant and influential analysis of the research on how local policies impact economic development. Bartik is a co-editor of Economic Development Quarterly, the only publication in the country that specializes in local economic development. The policy alternative of job creation tax credits has been discussed in national discussions about the recent recession. Jobs for the Poor: Can Labor Demand Policies Help? by Bartik, published in 2001, makes such job development program recommendations. In the discussion around job creation measures in 2009 and 2010, Bartik's work was often highlighted. The most recent book by Bartik, Investing in Kids: Early Childhood Programs and Local Economic Development, was released in January 2011. "Tim Bartik has published a scholarly book on the benefits of a local approach to financing and producing early interventions to encourage child development," says James Heckman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist. The University of Wisconsin-Madison awarded Bartik a Ph.D. and an MS in economics in 1982. In 1975, he graduated with a BA in political philosophy from Yale University. He held the position of assistant professor of economics at Vanderbilt University before joining the Upjohn Institute in 1989.
