Jean Ensminger is the Edie and Lew Wasserman Professor of Social Science at the California Institute of Technology. Her scholarship focuses on the political economy of Africa, global distribution of wealth, corruption in development and decentralized government.
Early life and education
Ensminger's doctoral research focused on the Orma of Kenya. She obtained her Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1984.[1]
Career
Ensminger used methods of New Institutional Economics to study property rights and transaction costs. She described how economic incentives influenced social behaviors including religious choices.[1] Prior to arriving at Caltech, Ensminger taught at Washington University as part of a group assembled by Douglass North, the 1993 Nobel laureate in Economics.[2] While working on development projects in Kenya, Ensminger became interested in the scope of corruption of World Bank initiatives in the area, and designed methods to quantitate its magnitude.[3] Ensminger was Division Chair for the Humanities and Social Sciences at Caltech from 2002-2006. In 2006-2007, she was a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation.She served as President of the Society for Economic Anthropology. With Joseph Henrich, Ensminger was co–principal investigator of the Roots of Human Sociality Project, which studied the coevolution of market institutions and pro-social norms involved in cooperation.
