Summary
Mary Kaltenberg is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Pace University and co-director of the Computational Economics major, bringing nine years of research and teaching experience at the intersection of labor and innovation. Her research examines how innovation shapes pay, the role of teamwork in invention, and how maternity policy affects female inventors, blending econometrics with data-driven approaches. She teaches quantitative analysis with R and Python across undergraduate and graduate courses, and supervises senior research capstones that translate theory into applied empirical work. With a PhD from UNU-MERIT and postdoctoral experience at Brandeis and a Visiting Scholar stint at the MIT Media Lab, she combines academic rigor with interdisciplinary collaborations. Beyond publications, she leverages practical policy experience from UNICEF and fundraising roles to ground her research in real-world institutional contexts.
