David Autor named the inaugural Daniel (1972) and Gail Rubinfeld Professor in Economics

The field of economics is constantly evolving and shaping the world we live in. It is a discipline that requires a deep understanding of complex economic systems and the ability to analyze and interpret data. In order to continue pushing the boundaries of economic knowledge, it is essential to have dedicated and knowledgeable individuals leading the way. That is why the establishment of a new professorship in economics is such an exciting development.

The new professorship, which has been generously funded by a group of esteemed economists, will enable continued economics scholarship and help the chairholder train and support future economists. This is a significant step towards furthering the study of economics and ensuring that the next generation of economists are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to make a positive impact in the field.

One of the key benefits of this new professorship is the opportunity for continued economics scholarship. With the support of the chair, the professor will have the resources and time to conduct in-depth research and contribute to the ever-growing body of economic knowledge. This will not only benefit the academic community but also have real-world implications as the findings can be applied to inform economic policies and decision-making.

Moreover, the establishment of this professorship will also provide a platform for the chairholder to mentor and support future economists. As a highly respected and experienced individual in the field, the professor will have the opportunity to shape the minds of young economists and guide them towards a successful career. This mentorship will not only benefit the students but also contribute to the growth and development of the field of economics as a whole.

In addition to the academic benefits, the new professorship will also have a positive impact on the university and the local community. It will attract top talent to the university, both in terms of students and faculty, and enhance the reputation of the institution as a hub for economic research and education. This, in turn, will have a ripple effect on the local community as the university and its students contribute to the economic growth and development of the region.

The establishment of this professorship is a testament to the commitment and dedication of the donors towards the field of economics. Their generosity will not only benefit the university but also have a far-reaching impact on the global economy. By investing in the education and training of future economists, they are ensuring that the field continues to progress and evolve, ultimately leading to a better understanding of economic systems and their impact on society.

Furthermore, this new professorship will also provide opportunities for collaboration and exchange of ideas between the chairholder and other renowned economists. This will not only enrich the academic experience of the professor but also contribute to the advancement of economic research and theory. The potential for interdisciplinary collaboration is also immense, as the chairholder can work with experts from other fields to explore the intersection of economics with other disciplines.

The establishment of this professorship is a significant milestone for the university and the field of economics. It is a testament to the university’s commitment to academic excellence and its dedication to providing students with the best education possible. With the support of the chair, the university will be able to attract top talent and continue to produce highly skilled and knowledgeable economists who will make a positive impact in the world.

In conclusion, the new professorship in economics is a much-needed development that will have a lasting impact on the field. It will enable continued economics scholarship, provide mentorship and support for future economists, and contribute to the growth and development of the university and the local community. We are grateful to the donors for their generosity and look forward to the contributions of the chairholder in shaping the future of economics. This is a truly exciting time for the field, and we cannot wait to see the positive impact this professorship will have in the years to come.
