Steven Puller, associate professor of economics, has been appointed a faculty research fellow for the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) program on Environmental and Energy Economics.

Jonathan Meer and Harvey Rosen, professor of economics at Princeton University, are the recipients of the H.S. Warwick Research Award for Outstanding Published Scholarship for "Altruism and the Child Cycle of Alumni Donations," published by the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy (vol 1, no. 1). The research explores motivations for alumni giving and whether contributions are affected by the expectation of a reciprocal benefit.

The Department welcomes the following faculty members for the Fall of 2009:
