John C. Haltiwanger is a Distinguished University Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland-College Park and a Research Associate at the Center for Economic Studies at the U.S. Bureau of the Census. He also served as Chief Economist of the U.S. Bureau of the Census between 1997 and 1999. Professor Haltiwanger is best known for his work developing and studying longitudinal firm-level microdata, which formed the foundation of his influential work on the determinants of firm-level job creation, job destruction, and economic performance.

Career
Haltiwanger received a B.S. in applied mathematics and economics from Brown University in 1977 and a Ph.D. in economics from The Johns Hopkins University in 1981.

Prior to arriving at the University of Maryland-College Park in 1987, Haltiwanger served on the faculty at the University of California-Los Angeles and The John Hopkins University.

In addition to his positions at the University of Maryland-College Park and at the U.S. Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies, Haltiwanger is a Senior Research Fellow of the Census Bureau's Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) Program, which along with John M. Abowd and Julia Lane, he helped to found. He is also currently a member of the Federal Economics Statistics Advisory Council and a Research Associate at both the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) and the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).

Haltiwanger served as Chief Economist of the U.S. Bureau of the Census between 1997 and 1999. He was also previously a member of the Committee on National Statistics for the National Academy of Sciences, a Consultant for the Conference Board, and a member of the Brookings Panel on Economic Activity.

Haltiwanger has been the Principal Investigator or Co-Principal Investigator for multiyear grants and contracts from the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Aging, the National Institute of Health, the MacArthur Foundation, the Sloan Foundation, the Tinker Foundation, the Kaufmann Foundation, and the U.S. Bureau of the Census.

Major Contributions to Economics
Haltiwanger is best known for his influential work using firm-level longitudinal data to explore the dynamics of job creation, job destruction, and economic performance. In his 1996 book Job Creation and Destruction (co-authored with Steven Davis and Scott Schuh), Haltiwanger takes advantage of plant-level data from the manufacturing industry to examine how businesses and workers respond to changes in their economic environments. Among the most striking findings in the book are the large and persistent gross job flows, which dwarf the net job flows that are commonly observed in employment data. Job Creation and Destruction laid the groundwork for a large amount of subsequent research that not only confirmed the existence of such large gross job flows in other time periods, sectors, and countries, but also delved into the mechanisms and theories that would explain these flows.

In a review published in the Journal of Economic Literature in 1997, David Blanchflower concluded that Job Creation and Destruction "is an important piece of work. Not many books start literatures. This one is likely to. Buy it" (page 1400). In a review published in Economica in 1998, Jonathan Haskel noted that Job Creation and Destruction "is a definitive documentation of job creation and destruction in the United States and has already proved to be the starting point for a rich body of work. How many other books can claim to be so influential in their field?" (page 156).

Haltiwanger has also published widely cited articles in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the American Economic Review, the Review of Economic Studies, the Review of Economics and Statistics, the Journal of Economic Literature, and other major economics and statistics journals.
