Senior🎓
Top SchoolAustin Bean is a Senior Economist with a PhD in Economics and a decade of experience applying experimental design, causal inference, and applied microeconomics to product and policy questions. He currently leads measurement and strategy for sponsored display at Amazon, after an academic career as an assistant professor in industrial organization and health economics at Temple University and postdoctoral work at the Leonard Davis Institute. Comfortable bridging rigorous research and product-facing analytics, he designs experiments that translate into scalable advertising and marketplace decisions. Trained in philosophy, mathematics, and economics at the University of Chicago and UT Austin, he brings a quantitative rigor and interdisciplinary curiosity—shaped in part by an international school upbringing in Moscow—that helps him spot nonobvious identification challenges and practical solutions.
