Timothy Gilbride

Tim Gilbride’s research focuses on the development of Bayesian statistical methods to assist researchers and managers to better understand consumer preferences and to make decisions under uncertainty. In recent papers, he developed a method for combining observed market share and survey based preference data, investigated price framing effects, and has developed methods for modeling variable selection and non-compensatory consumer decision processes. Gilbride teaches courses in marketing research at both the undergraduate and graduate level. He majored in Economics at the University of Dayton and obtained an MBA from The Ohio State University. He worked in marketing research and consulting at Goodyear, Booz Allen & Hamilton, and Aetna before going back to Ohio State to obtain his PhD in Business Administration.
