Murphy Prize of the American Conference for Irish Studies in 1999, and is co-editor of "History Matters: Essays on Economic Growth, Technology and Demographic Change." His current research deals with financial markets and demographic change in 19th-century Germany.

He has received two teaching awards at Yale: the Department of Economics' Graduate Teaching Award and the Yale College/Lex Hixon '63 Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Social Sciences.
A graduate of Haverford College, Guinnane earned his Ph.D. at Stanford University. He began his teaching career at Princeton University in 1989 and was a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation and the Pitt Professor at the University of Cambridge before joining the Yale faculty in 1993. He has held visiting positions at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Collective Goods in Bonn, the University of Stuttgart-Hohenheim, the University of Cologne, King's College (Cambridge University), the University of Mannheim, the University of Heidelberg and the University of Munich.
