Born in New York City, Glaeser was educated at the Collegiate School and Princeton University, where he received his AB in economics in 1988. After receiving a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago in 1992, he joined the faculty of Harvard University. He has served as the director of the Taubman Center for State and Local Government, and as the director of the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston (both at Harvard Kennedy School). He is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and a contributing editor at ''City Journal''. He also chairs the Advisory Council of the Liveable London unit at Policy Exchange. Glaeser and John A. List were mentioned as reasons for which the American Economic Association began to award the John Bates Clark Medal annually in 2009.
Glaeser has been a faculty research fellow at the NBER since 1993, and was an editor of the ''Quarterly Journal of Economics'' from 1998 to 2008. He was elected a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 2005, and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2010.
According to a review in ''The New York Times'', his book ''Triumph of the City'' summarises years of research into the role that cities play in fostering human achievement and "is at once polymathic and vibrant." Provided by Wikipedia
