Benjamin I. Page is the Gordon S. Fulcher Professor of Decision Making at Northwestern University and a Faculty Associate at the Institute for Policy Research.
Holding a PhD from Stanford and a JD from Harvard, he specializes in public opinion, democratic policy making, media, and economic inequality.
He is particularly recognized for his research on the rationality of collective public preferences and currently investigates the political attitudes of wealthy Americans—the top 1% of wealth-holders—examining how their views diverge from average citizens yet disproportionately influence policy.
He has authored 11 books and numerous articles in leading political science journals.
