Ellen Muir

I am an Assistant Professor in Applied Economics and the Class of 1958 Career Development Assistant Professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management. I am also a Faculty Associate of the Joint Center for History and Economics at Harvard University.

My research lies at the intersection of microeconomic theory and industrial organization. I primarily study the behavior of firms with market power, focusing on how they set prices, design products and contracts, procure inputs, and hire workers in environments with strategic interaction and incomplete information. My work aims to inform the design of regulatory interventions, property-rights regimes, and antitrust and competition policy.
