Yona Rubinstein
Assistant Professor

Yona received his B.A. in Economics and Business Administration in 1991, and his Ph.D. in Economics in 2000, both from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Prior to coming to Brown, Yona was at the Eitan Berglas School of Economics, where he was a Senior Lecturer. He is a labor economist, and has already published several scholarly journal articles. One article, written jointly with with Nobel Laureate James Heckman of the University of Chicago, shows the importance of non-cognitive skills such as sociability, persistence and dependability, in determining a person's earnings and educational attainment. Yona will be teaching labor economics at both the graduate and undergraduate level.
