George M. Kuznets (/ˈkʌznɛts/; July 28, 1909 – August 3, 1986)[1] was an American economist. A member of the University of California, Berkeley's department of agricultural and resource economics, he specialized in agricultural economics. Regarded by his peers as a pioneer in quantitative research, Kuznets was appointed a fellow of the American Agricultural Economics Association in 1982, the highest honor of his profession.[2] He was also elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, in 1960.[3]

Born in into a Jewish family in Kiev, Russian Empire (now in Ukraine), Kuznets moved to the US from Warsaw alone after the death of his mother in 1926 and obtained a Ph.D. in psychometrics from the University of California, Berkeley.[4] His older brother Simon Kuznets was also an economist and won the 1971 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
