Selected Publications by Recent PhD Graduates

Submitted by Nicole Johns on

The Economics PhD program is an academically rigorous curriculum for students interested in pursuing advanced study and doing original research in economics. This program develops professional economists for a variety of careers in teaching, in government, in industry, or with international agencies in the United States and abroad.

A distinctive and important feature of our program is the willingness of faculty to involve graduate students in their research, providing an environment that nurtures scholarship and leads to collaborative research efforts culminating in joint papers written with faculty. Consequently, our students often graduate with completed research papers that are well advanced in the publication process. Below is a selection of select publications by our recent PhD graduates for the last 10 years, many of whom continue to produce scholarly work with our faculty (for a selective list of faculty publications since 2010, see here).
