Life and education

Schulhofer-Wohl's research focuses on applied econometrics, monetary policy, and macroeconomics.[2][7] With Miguel Garrido, he showed that the 2007 closure of The Cincinnati Post affected voter turnout and the re-election chances for incumbents.[3][8] With Greg Kaplan, he has studied the decline in migration among American workers.[9][10]
