Keith Chen is a Professor of Behavioral Economics at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, and the Bing and Alice Liu Yang Endowed Term Chair in Management and Innovation. His research blurs traditional disciplinary boundaries, bringing big-data tools tools to bear on problems at the intersection of Economics, Psychology, and Biology.
Keith's early work tackled topics that fall outside of traditional economics such as primate decision making, and the link between language and economic behavior. More recently his work has studied a unique digital trace dataset with precise smartphone location information for millions of anonymous individuals over time. He has produced a stream of work that uses these data to study a variety of issues from the spread of COVID-19 to racial disparities in voting wait times and in police exposure. Professor C
