Students in the Department of Economics change the shape of the world economy using historical context and an interdisciplinary lens. Working alongside esteemed faculty and other graduate programs, students use rigorous conceptual, mathematical, and statistical modeling techniques that form the methodological basis of contemporary economic thought. Recently, their respected and inventive work has covered topics such as:
Willi Semmler, Arnhold Professor of International Cooperation and Development, on the less-discussed impacts of environmental shifts
How student research is informing new modes of interdisciplinary social thought
Students use NSSR MA Project Grant to create Revival Magazine
NSSR Welcomes Socioeconomist Till van Treeck as the 2021–2022 Heuss Professor
