Gillis, Talia, Prof. (Columbia)

Talia Gillis, Associate Professor of Law at Columbia University, is a visiting guest professor at ETH Zurich during the spring semester 2025. She studies the law and economics of consumer markets, with a particular focus on household financial behavior and how consumer welfare is shaped by technological and legal changes. Some of her recent work considers how artificial intelligence, and consumer fintech more broadly, is affecting consumers and raises distributional concerns. Her paper “The Input Fallacy” was the winner of the 2022 AALS Scholarly Papers Competition. She holds a Ph.D. in Business Economics from Harvard University and an SJD from Harvard Law School. Prior to her doctoral studies, she earned a BCL from Oxford University and an LLB in Law and Economics from the Hebrew University.
