Economics Diploma Ceremony UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER ECONOMICS DIPLOMA CEREMONY FRIDAY, MAY FIFTEENTH TWO THOUSAND TWENTY 2020 Department of Economics Diploma Ceremony History University of Rochester Department of Economics The Department of Economics at the University of Rochester was re-established in 1957 under the leadership of Professor Lionel McKenzie who became its first chairman. Since its inception, the Department has come to be considered one of the world’s leading places to study modern economics. Over the years, department faculty and graduates have distinguished themselves in numerous ways, including: multiple memberships in the prestigious National Academy of Sciences, editorship of numerous journals, countless professional publications, and one PhD graduate, and two former faculty members going on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics. Today, faculty and students continue to come to Rochester from around the world, making Rochester a truly global department. The Department’s Undergraduate Program is one of the most popular in the College, typically graduating over 120 students annually. Our students now have the choice to major in either Economics or Financial Economics, while students in other majors often choose Economics to fulfill their cluster requirements. We are proud of our tradition that the entire faculty is involved in our undergraduate program, with full-time faculty teaching virtually all our curriculum. Our curriculum provides student with a common core of analytic courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics and statistics. Students then specialize in areas of interest, choosing electives ranging from public finance to econometrics, money and banking to sports economics, and so forth. Most importantly, our students leave prepared to think analytically. Students graduating in Economics are well represented in other areas of college life: they are active in intercollegiate athletics, student clubs and organizations, and participate in numerous off-campus activities. They have distinguished themselves winning many campus honors and awards. Upon graduation they have pursued graduate training in most commonly, Economics, Business, and Law, gone to work in the financial service industry, worked as economic consultants, and in various other professions. 1 University of Rochester Faculty George Alessandria Lisa Kahn PhD, University of Pennsylvania PhD, Harvard University Yu Awaya Narayana Kocherlakota PhD, Pennsylvania State University PhD, University of Chicago Yan Bai Asen Kochov PhD, University of Minnesota PhD, University of Rochester Paulo Barelli Steven Landsburg PhD, Columbia PhD, University of Chicago Travis Baseler Yena Park PhD, Stanford PhD, University of Pennsylvania Mark Bils Ronni Pavan PhD, MIT PhD, University of Chicago Gaston Chaumont Mike Rizzo PhD, Penn State PhD, Cornell Bin Chen John Singleton PhD, Cornell PhD, Duke John Duggan Kegon Tan PhD, California Institute of Technology PhD, University of Wisconsin- Madison Stanley Engerman, Emeritus PhD, Johns Hopkins William Thomson PhD, Stanford Srihari Govindan PhD, State University of New York at Michael Wolkoff Stonybrook PhD, University of Michigan Ronald Jones, Emeritus Nese Yildiz PhD, MIT PhD, Stanford 2 2020 Department of Economics Diploma Ceremony Degree Conferral Keynote Address Michael Wolkoff Professor & Deputy Chair, Department of Economics Awarding of Baccalaureate Degrees Michael Rizzo Department of Economics 3 University of Rochester Degree Candidates Bachelor of Arts in Economics Giuliano Agostinho de Castro Seung Hyeong Lee Tyler L.

    Growing Economies in Indian Country: A National Summit May 1, 2012 Narayana Kocherlakota, President, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Introduced by Joseph Firschein, Deputy Associate Director, Division of Consumer and Community Affairs, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System Joseph Firschein: My job is, is to do some welcome-- to welcome you to the Board of Governors to provide some context for how we got to this place and to help you understand sort of how we plan to use the day. David already told you a little bit about what the Community Development function does, so I'm not going, I'm not going to go into that. But, I will say that sometimes when we try to explain it to people there's nothing better than an event like this to really kind of make the picture kind of come, come whole. And so, we sometimes talk about three components of what we do. And, and really it just couldn't fit better into sort of the structure of today. We talk about convening stakeholders, conducting applied research and data analysis and identifying approaches that work. And as you'll hear throughout the day that's really what we're going to be doing. In terms of-- oh, the other thing I do want to say is even though we have a full room and quite a distinguished one, I want to welcome everybody who's watching on the web streaming. We've been doing this now for a little bit and we know it's not possible for everybody who would want to be at an event like this to physically come to Washington; particularly an event like this, where it's sometimes far as far as where the folks are that are doing this kind of work.

  • Temptation and Self-Control
    FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF SAN FRANCISCO WORKING PAPER SERIES Temptation and Self-Control: Some Evidence and Applications Kevin X.D. Huang, Vanderbilt University Zheng Liu, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco John Q. Zhu, Fudan University School of Management August 2013 Working Paper 2013-23 http://www.frbsf.org/publications/economics/papers/2013/wp2013-23.pdf The views in this paper are solely the responsibility of the authors and should not be interpreted as reflecting the views of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, or the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. TEMPTATION AND SELF-CONTROL: SOME EVIDENCE AND APPLICATIONS KEVIN X.D. HUANG, ZHENG LIU, AND JOHN Q. ZHU Abstract. This paper studies the empirical relevance of temptation and self-control using household-level data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. We construct an infinite- horizon consumption-savings model that allows, but does not require, temptation and self- control in preferences. In the presence of temptation, a wealth-consumption ratio, in ad- dition to consumption growth, becomes a determinant of the asset-pricing kernel, and the importance of this additional pricing factor depends on the strength of temptation. To identify the presence of temptation, we exploit an implication of the theory that a more tempted individual should be more likely to hold commitment assets such as IRA or 401(k) accounts. Our estimation provides empirical support for temptation preferences. Based on our estimates, we explore some quantitative implications of this class of preferences for capital accumulation in a neoclassical growth model and the welfare cost of the business cycle.

  • Narayana Kocherlakota: Reflections on Diversity
    Narayana Kocherlakota: Reflections on diversity Speech by Mr Narayana Kocherlakota, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, at the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans 2014 Asian Heritage Dinner, St. Paul, Minnesota, 9 May 2014. * * * Thanks to Dorothy Bridges, Duane Carter and David Fettig for their assistance with these remarks. I would like to thank state Senator Alice Johnson and Executive Director Sia Her for the invitation to attend the 2014 Asian Heritage Dinner. I am honored to participate in this prestigious event. My talk tonight will consist of some reflections on diversity. I’ll first talk about the regional diversity that lies at the heart of the Federal Reserve System. I’ll talk next about my journey to my current position and the role that international diversity played in that journey. Finally, I’ll close with some thoughts on the role of workplace diversity. My remarks represent my own views, which are not necessarily those of anyone else in the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve System: a regionally diverse central bank I’ll begin by telling you a few things about my organization, the Federal Reserve System. I will be highlighting the role of regional diversity in the Federal Reserve’s formulation of economic policy. Relative to other central banks around the world, the Federal Reserve System is highly decentralized. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis is one of 12 regional Reserve Banks that, along with the Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., make up the Federal Reserve System. Our bank represents the ninth of the 12 Federal Reserve districts and includes Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Its critics point to what they believe this position ignores or what it wrongly assumes, and hence, how it would make bad policy. This course explores the relationship between politics and economics by surveying influential works of political economy. Its first part examines major thinkers in relation to the historical development of capitalism in Western Europe and the United States: the classical liberalism of Adam Smith, Karl Marx's revolutionary socialism, and the reformist ideas of John Stuart Mill and John Maynard Keynes. The second part considers mid-20th-century writers who revise and critique economic liberalism from a variety of perspectives, including Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Ronald Coase, Arthur Okun, and Albert O. Hirschman. The third part surveys significant recent contributions relevant to the themes of the course, with applications to current public policy issues, including topics such as: power relations and autonomy in the workplace; asymmetric information and social insurance; economic inequality and distributive justice; equality of opportunity; the economics of health care; positional goods and the moral foundations of capitalism; intergenerational equity and climate change; economic nationalism and new trade theory; behavioral economics; finance and financial crises; and rent-seeking. The combination of the historical focus of the early part of the course with discussion of modern policy issues and debates in the latter part of the course permits you to appreciate the ongoing dialogue between classical and contemporary views of political economy.
