Claudia Goldin Appointed Samuel W. Morris University Professor at Harvard
type: NewsArticle
title: Claudia Goldin Appointed Samuel W. Morris University Professor at Harvard
description: The appointments were announced in the Harvard Gazette. Goldin is among four faculty members awarded the title, which was also granted within the fields of Medicine, Law, and Physical Sciences as well. Harvard President Alan M. Garber praised the newly appointed University Professors as "outstanding colleagues" embodying the university's commitment to academic excellence. He highlighted their contributions to both scholarly pursuits and the wider community. Goldin, currently the Henry Lee Professor of Economics and the Lee and Ezpeleta Professor of Arts and Sciences, is celebrated for her groundbreaking research in economic history, particularly regarding women's labor market outcomes, the gender earnings gap, and the challenges women face in balancing career and family. In 2023 she was awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences for her advancements in this critical area of study. In a recent statement, Goldin expressed her gratitude for the new role, stating, "I am deeply honored and thank President Garber for this unique opportunity." She plans to introduce a course focused on the interdisciplinary insights of economic history, furthering the mission of a University Professor. Goldin has a long-standing reputation; her notable works include “The Race between Education and Technology” and "Career and Family: Women’s Century-Long Journey Toward Equity," the latter translated into over a dozen languages. She is actively involved in various economic research initiatives and recognized by numerous academic societies. As Goldin steps into her new role, she aims to explore the dynamics of women’s rights and the evolving landscape of caregiving benefits in the U.S., contributing to a deeper understanding of societal change.

A Closer Look at the Research That Won the 2025 Economics Nobel Prize
type: Article
title: A Closer Look at the Research That Won the 2025 Economics Nobel Prize
description: As was recently announced by the Nobel committee, economists Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics for their contributions in uncovering how technology-driven growth occurs. In this article, we’ll dive deeper into the specific research that won these luminaries the Prize, and what it means for the field. The Nobel laureates’ research asked and began to answer a very important question: what’s the secret behind such unprecedented, sustained, and world-changing economic growth? Let’s find out! Joel Mokyr Economic historian Joel Mokyr described how continual economic growth has its foundations in knowledge as well as the ability to make use of that knowledge. Specifically, he defined two different types of knowledge — propositional knowledge (which reflects advancements in theory) and prescriptive knowledge (which includes practical formulas, recipes, or etc. for use in industry or everyday life), and stated that sustained economic growth results when entrepreneurs, inventors, and other businesspeople are able to make use of them to produce new goods and services. By Mokyr’s theory, for most of human history these two kinds of knowledge seldom interacted. Artisans and builders knew how to make things, but didn’t always understand why the fundamental properties of their crafts worked. Meanwhile, scientists and philosophers deepened our understanding of the natural world, but were seldom able to connect their discoveries to practical, everyday uses. But scientists during the Enlightenment began to emphasize the importance of controlled experiments and repetition in the scientific process, which helped to bring their discoveries closer to the everyday working world. Further, Mokyr noted that Britain had a strong system of apprenticeship and commerce at the time, which resulted in a large class of workers with the “mechanical competence” to make use of new knowledge. Learning why things worked, and showing how natural relations…
disambiguating description: Technology-driven growth — the topic that won three economists the 2025 Nobel Prize — is a big deal! Throughout the vast majority of human history, living standards and per capita income were relatively unchanged, even despite breakthrough inventions and discoveries like fire, agriculture, and the printing press. Only in the late 1700s and early 1800s did sustained economic growth begin to occur, and economists have shown that most of this sustained growth happens purely because of increases in productivity.

Academic Horror Stories – 5 Real Life Worst Nightmares for Halloween

title: Academic Horror Stories – 5 Real Life Worst Nightmares for Halloween
description: Here at INOMICS we like to focus on the positive sides of academia – the great economics jobs, programs and other opportunities we encounter every day, and the many successful people taking advantage of them. In the spirit of the season, however, we’ve decided to take a look at the other side of things – scouring the depths of the internet for tales of mishaps, betrayal, embarrassing and outrageous experiences that all happened within the walls of the ivory tower. In this special Halloween blog post, we aim to give you chills and keep you on the edge of your seat with these blood-curdling academic nightmares. While we of course hope that you’ve never had such dreadful encounters, we would love it if you add your stories to our post on Facebook or Instagram! Share your spooky, panic-stricken or downright terrifying tales of academic horror, and offer your fellow academics a vicarious thrill. 1. Trivialized conclusions – A PhD candidate’s horror story This tale comes from the Academic Water Cooler blog. AWC writes that a star PhD candidate was just rounding the corner into the conclusions section of her pre-dissertation defense “brown bag” seminar when a young professor piped up with “Since you haven’t developed a theoretical basis for any substantive hypothesis, aren’t any of your conclusions therefore trivial?” Although the star PhD candidate was already teaching full-time and had numerous publications in the works, such a harsh blow – met with utter silence from everyone else in the room – knocked her off track so fully that shortly after the presentation she simply packed up her belongings, left the office and was never heard from again. An absolute nightmare! Browse jobs for PhD candidates 2. A rescinded offer – A new professor’s horror story This story is taken from a series of posts by The Professor Is In about rescinded job offers. The guest writer for this post tells of how she was in the midst of a postdoc at a large research university when she applied for …

Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt win 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics for Insights into Innovation and Growth
type: NewsArticle
title: Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt win 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics for Insights into Innovation and Growth
description: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on October 13, 2025 that the prestigious Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel has been awarded to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt. The laureates received the award for their groundbreaking insights into how innovation can drive sustained economic growth. Joel Mokyr, a professor at Northwestern University, received half the prize "for having identified the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress". As an economic historian, he emphasized the importance of historical context and the societal openness to new ideas. Philippe Aghion is a professor at Collège de France/LSE/INSEAD and Peter Howitt a professor at Brown University. The were jointly honored with the other half "for the theory of sustained growth through creative destruction". The concept of creative destruction illustrates how new innovations lead to the obsolescence of older products, thereby fueling economic growth but also creating conflicts that must be managed effectively to prevent stagnation. In an accompanying paper "Scientific Background" paper, the Prize Committee commented on Mokyr's contribution as showing... "...how growth became sustained as a result of a set of key prerequisites that were not jointly present prior to the Industrial Revolution, but have been since then. Of central importance is how science interacts with technology, i.e., economic production in practice and that society welcomes technological change. One of his main study objects, quite naturally, was the Industrial Revolution, since it defined the transition between the two [pre-industrial and industrial] regimes."

The ceremony took place at the SNE Annual Meeting, which was held in Boston, Massachusetts, October 3-5, 2025. This honor is bestowed upon researchers who have made exceptional contributions to the field of neuroeconomics within ten years of defending their PhD. In her response to receiving the award, published in a press release by LSE, Dr. Sullivan expressed her excitement, stating, "I'm thrilled to be the Early Career Award winner. It means a lot to me, as it recognizes the interdisciplinary work that I'm passionate about. This award energizes my commitment to advancing research that bridges neuroscience, economics, and consumer behavior, and opens exciting doors for future collaborations and impact." Neuroeconomics combines economics, psychology, and neuroscience to explore how human decision-making processes work. The SNE aims to foster collaboration among scholars from diverse fields to deepen understanding of economic behavior. Dr. Sullivan's groundbreaking research focuses on the neural mechanisms involved in decision-making and their implications for consumer behavior, public policy, and societal issues. By integrating computational neuroscience with marketing and economics, she sheds light on how various factors influence value-based decisions in different contexts. Dr. Ligaya's research focuses on identifying computational principles underlying learning and decision-making behavior. The recognition includes a monetary prize of $1,000 and an engraved plaque, underscoring Dr. Sullivan’s impactful contributions to the interdisciplinary study of neuroeconomics.

How to Search for a PhD Program
type: Article
title: How to Search for a PhD Program
description: 1. Understand what type of PhD you want Perhaps surprisingly, there are different ways to acquire a PhD, and some of them are very likely to appeal to you more than others. There are American-style PhD programs and European-style PhD programs, each of which can suit different applicants better than others; further, there are research assistant positions that can lead into PhDs, Master’s programs that can lead to PhDs, and even Master’s programs that are considered part of a larger PhD program. For more detail about these different avenues, be sure to check out our article on the Master of Research (MRes) and our article on American vs. European-style PhD programs. Once you’ve got a good idea of which type of program interests you, next comes the difficult task of identifying the specific institutions you’re interested in. But the first step to doing this is often looking inward, first. 2. Think about your research interests and location preferences You are unique and have your own interests and skills, which unfortunately means that there’s no easy and quick way to discover which economics departments are the most interesting or best fit for you. While there are many places where you can begin your search, it really helps to have an understanding of what you want first. Your research interests are probably the single most important factor determining which economics departments will be a good fit for you. Even if you don’t have any strong research interests (yet!), you still very likely have general areas of economics that interest you more than others. If macroeconomics courses always excited you, you should naturally look for universities with a strong focus on macroeconomic research, and avoid programs with more of a microeconomics focus. If identifying your own interests seems daunting or overly prescriptive, here’s a great way to start narrowing it down: think about the research papers you’ve been exposed to before. If you’ve read any research papers that intri…
disambiguating description: Economists often need PhDs to reach their career goals. According to INOMICS’ Salary Report data — and as Figure 3 in our PhD pay premium article shows — the vast majority of professional economists earn a PhD at some point in their careers. Academic economists are expected to acquire one in order to do research, while a PhD can often be a prerequisite for high-level industry economist jobs. But no matter how experienced, all PhD economists, at one point, were mere students searching for a good place to study. While important, how to search for the right place to study is seldom discussed…and there are thousands of universities with great economics departments out there. Feeling overwhelmed, and curious for some tips for your own search? Read on!

University of Chicago to sell research institute CRSP to Morningstar for $375 Million
type: NewsArticle
title: University of Chicago to sell research institute CRSP to Morningstar for $375 Million
description: The University of Chicago and Morningstar, Inc. have announced an agreement for Morningstar to acquire the CRSP, a UChicago-affiliated institution known for its historical market and returns data. The University of Chicago has produced some of the finest minds in the fields of finance and economics, and is considered a leading institution in the field, with the neoclassical "Chicago School" pioneered by UChicago economists. Valued at $375 million, the acquisition marks a significant step for CRSP, established over 65 years ago to support research in the field of finance. This transaction will enable CRSP's survival in the face of pressure on academic budgets in the US, instead setting it on a more commercially-aligned path as it increasingly engages in the investment sector, allowing it to further develop its stock indexes. Morningstar intends to capitalise on CRSP’s extensive data validation and indexing methodologies, bolstering its commitment to providing high-quality investment tools to clients. The deal is projected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, and funds generated will support ongoing education and research initiatives at UChicago. "The acquisition will enable CRSP to explore additional commercial opportunities beyond its academic roots," said Madhav Rajan, dean of Chicago Booth and chair of CRSP’s Board of Directors. Kunal Kapoor, Morningstar's CEO, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the potential for innovative investment strategies derived from CRSP’s resources. In a press release, Morningstar describe CRSP as the "premier provider of historical stock market data and indexes". Emphasising the CRSP market indexes as the benchmarks for "more than $3 trillion in US equities", Morningstar predicts that the move will catapult "it to one of the largest index providers for public US equity index funds". The news comes after a recent announcement by Paul Alivisatos, UChicago President, about cost-cutting measures at the University. In this, he communicate…

Exogenous and Endogenous
type: CreativeWork
title: Exogenous and Endogenous
description: These concepts are often encountered when discussing macroeconomic models, or in econometrics contexts – like when conducting regression analysis. Put simply, "exogenous" is an adjective that refers to a variable, quantity, or phenomena that is derived outside of the current economic model or context. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as follows: "caused by factors…from outside the organism or system". In economics courses, this typically means that you aren’t expected to know how the exogenous variable came to be. Its origins, and how it is determined, are not part of the analysis. "Endogenous" is the opposite; it’s something that is defined within the current context. Merriam-Webster defines it as: "[something] caused by factors inside the organism or system". This means that, given the current economic model, you are expected to be able to describe the origins and determination of the endogenous variable, unlike the exogenous case. These concepts are fairly intuitive once grasped, and often form the basis of more advanced assumptions in econometrics and economic model contexts. To illustrate this further, let’s use a simple market equilibrium example. Market equilibrium example Suppose that we’ve been given information about a market, and we want to find out what the market equilibrium will be. Suppose that the supply curve is defined by QS = 2p, and the demand curve is defined by QD = 12 - p. Then, equilibrium is where QS = QD, or where 2p = 12 - p. Solving, we arrive at an equilibrium price of p = 4, and therefore an equilibrium quantity of q = 8. In this example, we had two equations to describe the market’s equilibrium — the supply side and the demand side. With these two equations, we were easily able to solve for the resulting equilibrium. The equilibrium price was partly determined by the equilibrium quantity, and vice versa. Which parts of this problem — which variables, and which key concepts — were endogenous, and which were exogenous? The equil…
disambiguating description: "Exogenous" and "endogenous" are two words that get thrown around a lot in higher-level economics courses. Since these are real words and not specifically "economics terms", classes seldom define them for you (just like the word "autarky"!). But it can really help to know what they mean before starting some upper-level courses!

New Zealand Appoints Swedish Economist Anna Breman as New Reserve Bank Governor
type: NewsArticle
title: New Zealand Appoints Swedish Economist Anna Breman as New Reserve Bank Governor
description: In a move signalling a new chapter for New Zealand's monetary policy, the government has officially announced the appointment of Swedish economist Anna Breman as the new Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Notices of the appointment were shared both by the government, and by the Reserve Bank. Breman, who has previously held notable positions within the Sveriges Riksbank and the European Central Bank, will take over from Christian Hawkesby, who has filled the role on a temporary basis since April 2025 after the previous incumbent, Adrian Orr, stepped down amid criticisms regarding the bank's management and policy directions. Breman's selection has been widely viewed as a positive shift towards reforming the Reserve Bank, which has faced challenges surrounding inflation and interest rates in recent years. The deputy chairman of the RBNZ Board, Rodger Finley, praised the appointment: “Anna’s experience spans central banking, academia and financial markets. She has strong technical knowledge within monetary policy, financial stability and payments systems after several years at the Executive Board at the Riksbank and an extensive international experience.” Since the bank is crucial in controlling inflation and ensuring economic stability, Brennan's appointment is seen as a vital step in restoring confidence among investors and the public. As she transitions into her new role, Breman is expected to focus on balancing inflation control with sustaining economic growth, a task that has proved challenging for many central banks worldwide. The Reserve Bank has already hinted at reviewing its policy framework under her lead, indicating potential updates to ensure more effective economic management. With Breman at the helm, New Zealand hopes to establish a robust monetary policy that not only addresses immediate economic concerns but also prepares for future challenges. Brennan's inauguration as the 14th Governor will formally take place on 1 December 2025, with many s…
