The 2006-2007 Academic Year was an exciting one for the MIT Economics Department, with new research developments, several key promotions, and many faculty and student honors. The most exciting development for the department's long-run evolution was the promotion of four junior faculty members to be tenured associate professorships: macroeconomists George-Marios Angeletos and Ivàn Werning, applied microeconomist Amy Finkelstein (Ph.D. 2001), and economic theorist Muhamet Yildiz. All four will make important contributions to the future growth of our research and teaching programs. Read more from the Economics at MIT 2007-2008 Brochure...
