Department of Economics at Temple University

We are happy to see research by our faculty member Catherine Maclean and coauthors, including Catherine's recently graduated doctoral student Keisha Solomon, promoted on http://nber.org today. Congratulations to the authors for this recognition of their socially relevant research.

Every year in early May, we have a luncheon in which we present departmental awards to students and faculty. This year we could not have the luncheon, but we did make the awards and we are very proud of the achievements of the winners. https://sites.temple.edu//annual-economics-department-awa/
