Top Economic Researchers

The scope and breadth of the faculty’s research interest and activity is reflected in the stature and diversity of the general interest and field journals in which their work has been published, in recent years including the American Economic Review and other top-tier academic journals. The department has a balanced mix of junior- and senior-level faculty, which ensures the infusion of new approaches and interests into both the classroom and the department’s research agenda.
