Jeremy Burke is a Senior Economist at the University of Southern California’s Center for Economic and Social Research and Director of USC’s Behavioral Economics Studio. His main fields of research are behavioral economics and consumer financial decision-making. In recent work he has conducted survey experiments examining whether educational interventions can reduce adults’ susceptibility to financial fraud, and how responding to a survey on a smartphone influences financial literacy measurement. In other research he has led multiple field experiments testing behaviorally informed approaches to improve consumer financial stability by reducing high interest debt burdens, building credit, and improving savings behavior. He has also examined whether state mandated financial education improves financial well-being and how cognitive ability and cognitive aging influence debt accumulation late in life. Previously, he was an Economist at RAND, Associate Director of RAND’s Center for Financial and Economic Decision Making, and a professor in the Pardee RAND Graduate School. Jeremy received his Ph.D. in Economics from Duke University.
