William N. Goetzmann

William N. Goetzmann (born February 4, 1956) is an American academic, museum director and author who is the Edwin J. Beinecke Professor of Finance and Management Studies and faculty director of the International Center for Finance at the Yale School of Management.[1]

Goetzmann is a widely published expert on stocks, real estate, and alternative investments. He is best known for his research on investment funds, housing markets, the market for art, and financial history.[2]

Background

He was born in New Haven, Connecticut, the son of Mewes Mueller and William H. Goetzmann. His father (1930–2010) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian of the American West.

He is married to Architect Mariko Masuoka[3] and has one daughter, Zoe.

Goetzmann studied at Yale College where he received a B.A. in Art History and Archaeology in 1978. He received his M.B.A from Yale School of Management in 1986 and his Ph.D. in Operations Research from Yale University in 1990.[4]

Prior to his academic career, Goetzmann worked as a writer and producer of PBS documentaries and served as the director of the American Museum of Western Art in Denver, Colorado during 1984–85.

Career

Following the 2008 financial crisis, Goetzmann co-authored a 2009 research report with Andrew Ang and Stephen Schaefer for the Norwegian Ministry of Finance evaluating the sovereign wealth fund's use of active management. This research provided ground-breaking recommendations on the use of factor investing for institutional portfolios.[5]

In 2020, he was featured in the newsletter, Yale Insights, with an article and a video [6] that focus on the global financial bubbles that have occurred since the one that crashed in 1720.
