She is an innovative and prolific scholar whose work spans labor, public and health economics. She has made fundamental contributions in many areas and is best known for her work on public policy issues affecting child health and wellbeing. Her work is notable for combining a focus on important, policy-relevant questions with unassailable objectivity and scrupulous attention to methodological detail.

The award is given annually by the American Economic Association (AEA) Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession (CSWEP) to recognize and honor an individual who has furthered the status of women in the economics profession. This award will be presented at the annual CSWEP business meeting and award ceremony held during the 2019 AEA Meeting in Atlanta.

She takes complete and active responsibility in her role, giving a lot of her time and simultaneously being respectful of diversity of opinion and views among mentees.

Professor Rouse will accept the Bell Award at the annual CSWEP business meeting and award ceremony held during the 2017 AEA Meeting in Chicago. Professor Rouse is a labor economist and is one of the nation’s leading experts on the economics of education.

Dr. Rouse is lauded as a “mature thinker” and “careful empiricist” by her colleagues and she has published numerous papers in the top general interest journals. As demonstrated in the more than 10 letters from economists she has mentored-- from undergraduate students, graduate students, and contemporary colleagues—Professor Rouse “has an extremely generous spirit” and shares her time to provide feedback, to support, to nurture development and dispense frank and sage advice to others. Dr. Rouse is someone who “very much leads by example,” setting “a high bar for her own contributions.” In addition to her outstanding scholarship and mentorship, Dr.
