Arnold Kling received his Ph.D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980. He was an economist on the staff of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from 1980-1986. He was a senior economist at Freddie Mac from 1986-1994. In 1994, he started Homefair.com, one of the first commercial sites on the World Wide Web. (Homefair was sold in 1999 to Homestore.com.) Kling is an adjunct scholar with the Cato Institute. He teaches statistics and economics at the Berman Hebrew Academy in Rockville, Maryland. In 2004 and 2005, he has taught "Economics for the Citizen" at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
Kling is the author of three books: Under the Radar: Starting Your Internet Business without Venture Capital (Perseus, 2001); Learning Economics (Xlibris, 2004); and Crisis of Abundance: Rethinking How We Pay for Health Care (Cato, 2006). He is a contributing editor to TCSdaily.com. His web site at arnoldkling.com has been cited by The New York Times and in the Journal of Economic Perspectives as being entertaining and educational on the subjects of economics and technology.
Arnold Kling co-edits EconLog, along with Bryan Caplan.
