Douglas W. "Doug" Mitchell (born July 25, 1953) is an economist and polymath who has made significant contributions in a wide variety of areas in economics and finance (macroeconomics, banking, portfolio choice, public choice, public finance, and commodity markets) as well as in statistics and mathematics (cryptology, optimal control, econometric methods, choice under uncertainty, and elementary mathematics).
Academic Background
Mitchell received a bachelor of science in economics from Georgia Tech (1974) and a Ph.D. from Princeton University (1978). He was a faculty member in the economics departments of Temple University, the University of Texas-Austin, and West Virginia University. He retired as a full professor from West Virginia University in 2003, at the age of 49, to devote himself more fully to wide-ranging contributions outside of economics, including editing Misplaced Pages.
Career
In the period from 1978 to 2003 Mitchell served on 23 economics Ph.D. dissertation committees at West Virginia University, the University of Texas-Austin, and Temple University, and was the dissertation chair on 10 dissertation committees (His students include Herbert E. Taylor and Gregory Gelles). Mitchell to date has published 75 refereed journal articles in such journals as American Economic Review, Journal of Finance, Management Science, International Economic Review, Journal of Econometrics, The Economic Journal, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking, Public Choice, Mathematical Gazette, and Cryptologia. He was a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of Economics and Business for the periods 1978-1986 and 1991-1998.
Contributions
Mitchell’s contributions are notably diverse. In addition to publications in various subfields of economics and finance, his body of work includes contributions to mathematics, statistics, chaos theory, optimal control, and cryptology. His work in statistics which introduces a Polynomial Inverse Lag (PIL) specification for estimating time-series regression models (Mitchell and Speaker, 1986 and Speaker, Mitchell, and Gelles, 1989) is applied extensively. See for instance Kennedy (2003, p. 224), and the Shazam regression package which incorporates Mitchell and Speaker's PIL procedure as an option in OLS regression.
Personal
Doug Mitchell was born in Clemson, South Carolina and currently lives in Cleveland, Ohio, with his partner Duo Zhang who holds a Ph.D. in Economics from West Virginia University.
