Faculty Profile: M. Steven Holloway, Assistant Teaching Professor of Economics

The College of Business is pleased to welcome M. Steven Holloway, a new assistant teaching professor of economics.

When he started his PhD, Holloway already knew that he wanted to work for a mid-size state university, preferably in a community with robust outdoor recreational activities.

“Michigan Tech checked both those boxes and brought me closer to my original home of Iowa. When the opportunity arose to work here, it was an easy decision to make,” Holloway says.

Holloway’s primary research investigates intertemporal choice through a behavioral economics lens. He says his interest in the topic stems from his fascination with the human mind.
