Growing up in Landshut, West Germany, Brunnermeier was expected to follow his father into the business of carpentry. A slump in the construction industry led Brunnermeier onto a different path. He worked for the German tax office in Landshut and Munich and served in the German Army before enrolling as an undergraduate student at the University of Regensburg in 1991. He continued his studies at Vanderbilt University, receiving a master's degree in economics in 1994. Subsequently, he joined the European Doctoral Program, first, at the Bonn Graduate School of Economics and, from 1995 to 1999, at the London School of Economics. He was awarded his Ph.D. by the London School of Economics (LSE) in 1999. His thesis was titled Investor behaviour, financial markets and the international economy.
While at the London School of Economics, Brunnermeier parleyed a survey paper into a book on asset prices, bubbles, herding and crashes.
