Research

The National Science Foundation (NSF), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Transportation supports UAlbany Economics faculty research. Our mission is to perform research that advances our knowledge in both theoretical and applied economics, to disseminate that knowledge through publication in leading peer-reviewed journals and to advance public policy. The Economics Department has been recognized for research excellence with two research associates at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), one Elected Honorary Fellow of International Institute of Forecasters, a Fellow of the International Association for Applied Econometrics, and one University Distinguished Professor.
