  • Ph.D.,University of California, Berkeley, 2004.


  • Research Interests:Dr. Logan studies economic history, economic demography, and biodemography. He also does work that intersects with health economics, applied econometrics, applied microeconomics and development economics.


  • Current Research:Dr. Logan is currently working on three main areas. The first is Historical Living Standards. This includes analysis of nutritional well-being, household allocation of resources, economies of scale in the household, and comparative measures of living standards over time. The second area is Biodemography. In this area, he is currently looking at the modeling of physiological capital, estimating the rate of transmission of physiological capital (mother to child) in the twentieth century, and looking at the convergence in biomarkers between groups in the last two hundred years. And the last area is Applied Demography. His largest project in this area looks at the phenomenon of dowries in South Asia with his co-author Raj Arunachalam.
