Timothy Hyde

Timothy Hyde is the Gloria T. and Melvin J. (“Jack”) Chisum Postdoctoral Fellow in the Annenberg Center for Advanced Study in Communication at the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania and in the university's Department of Economics. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2022 with a Ph.D. in Economics. His research is centered on beliefs about low-probability, high-impact (LPHI) events like hurricanes and floods: how they are formed, how they evolve over time, and what can motivate changes in protective behavior. At the policy center, Tim is focusing on how attitudes about climate change are shaped by personal exposure to extreme weather events.
