Education and early life
Andrews grew up in Brookline, Massachusetts, the son of economists Marcellus Andrews and Cheryl Smith.[3] He graduated from Yale University in 2009 and completed a doctorate in economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2014.[4]
Career
Andrews was the Silverman (1968) Family Career Assistant Professor and an Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 2016 to 2018, when he joined the faculty at Harvard.[2] His research addresses questions of statistical inference when identification is weak and the quantification of uncertainty, such as uncertainty due to publication bias.[4]
