I am a PhD student at the Department of Economic History at the London School of Economics. I am on the job market this year. My research interests include long-run growth, human capital formation, knowledge transmission, and natural language processing.
This paper studies teacher-directed scientific change for one of the largest changes in the direction of research, the Scientific Revolution. Specifically, the paper shows that teachers at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge during the seventeenth century succesfully managed to influence their students’ direction of research.
