Career
Komlos received a PhD in history in 1978 and a second PhD in economics in 1990 from the University of Chicago.[1][2] After inspired by Robert Fogel to work on the history of human height,[3][6] Komlos devoted most of his academic career developing and expanding the research agenda that became known as Anthropometric history,[3][7][8] the study of the effect of economic development on human biology as indicated by the physical stature or the obesity rate prevalence of a population.[4][6][9][10]
Komlos was a fellow at the Carolina Population Center of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1984 to 1986. He worked as a professor of economics and of economic history at the University of Munich for eighteen years before his retirement.[1][2]
In 2003, Komlos founded Economics and Human Biology, a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering research on biological economics, economics in the context of human biology and health.[3][1][2] In 2013, he was elected a Fellow of the Cliometric Society.[11]
