Faculty
The Department of Economics at UCLA has a young and active faculty whose research is shaping policy and informing the public on critical issues affecting the United States and the world. Their research covers a diversity of topics such as the origins and persistence of the Great Depression and its lessons for today’s economy, the relationship between education and health outcomes, predatory behavior in the U.S. airline industry, and the historical economic aspects of residential segregation in the U.S. and its present day policy implications. Many of our faculty have received special recognition for their body of research by election to prestigious institutions such as the National Academy of Science, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and the Econometric Society, or have received such celebrated awards such as the Nobel Prize and Guggenheim Fellowship.
