Professional Biography
Dr. Schneider has been teaching at the University of Denver since 2009. His research focuses on characterizing the distribution of income between individuals as well as between groups, on which he has published in economics and physics. He is generally interested in the measurement of inequality in addition to the causes and implications thereof. He was the principal investigator of a project at the Rocky Mountain Federal Research Data Center in Boulder, CO, to study the evidence for and characterization of labor market segmentation. Dr. Schneider has also studied the evolution of inequality in the US, the impact of fiscal policy on the distribution of income in Europe, and the health consequence of income inequality. He regularly teaches microeconomics, econometrics, and an advanced seminar (ASEM) on income and wealth inequality.
