Michael Storper
Michael Storper is an economic and urban geographer[1] who teaches at the University of California (UCLA), Sciences Po and London School of Economics.
Biography
Michael Storper completed a bachelor's degree in sociology and history in 1975, followed by a masters in 1979 and a PhD in geography in 1982 from the University of California, Berkeley.[1]
In 2014 he was named by Thomson Reuters as one of the "World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds" of the 21st century for his writings being among the top 1% most cited in the field of social sciences.[2] He is a fellow of the British Academy[3] and in 2016 received the Founder's Medal from the Royal Geographical Society.[4]
In a 2020 article co-authored with Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, Storper argued, contrary to most existing research, that zoning regulations have no impact on housing prices. A response piece to the article by several UCLA Luskin urban planning professors argued that the original article misrepresents existing research and draws faulty conclusions from data.[5]
He lives in Los Angeles and Paris.[6]
