Currently a researcher and instructor
at the Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley,
Justin Tumlinson studies the economics of teams,
their formation, the incentives of their members and teamwork's impact on
public and private welfare. Although primarily
an applied theorist, he also examines questions empirically. His dissertation, supervised by John
Morgan of the Haas School of Business and the Department of Economics,
addresses (i) Discrimination in
Teams, (ii) Corporate Social
Responsibility, (iii) Ethnicity
in Business Decisions. His approach – using
the tools of quantitative economics to unpack the firm into individually
incented actors participating in teams is unique. More broadly, Tumlinson enjoys applying formal analytics to
controversial topics typically associated with softer debate. He will serve
as a full time researcher at CESifo (affiliated
with the University of Munich) beginning in September 2011.
Tumlinson also
serves as Founder and Managing Partner (on leave) of a small firm, ZIVIS
LLC, engaged primarily in the advisement of so-called angel investors and
management of non-traditional investment assets. Prior to founding ZIVIS, he analyzed
deals and managed portfolio firms for Earlybird,
a Munich
based, early-stage, venture capital firm.
From 1997 to 2003 he served in a variety of positions at Intel
including Sr. Operations Engineer where he advised capital equipment
decisions and global manufacturing operations. He also served as a Researcher in advanced
networking technologies where his duties included advising Intel Capital’s
investment strategy.
He holds an
PhD and MS in Business Administration and an MS in Industrial Engineering
and Operations Research, all from the University of California, Berkeley,
as well as a BSE in Computer Science and Engineering from Northern
Arizona University. He is a German Chancellor’s Scholar and a
Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. His other awards include the National
Science Foundation’s Graduate Fellowship,
the Fulbright Fellowship, and the Bosch Future Leaders of America
Fellowship.
