Department of Economics M.A. Forecasting Program Faculty

The core faculty associated with the program are four current members of the Economics Department plus one new member who is expected to join the department in Fall 2004. In teaching the courses designated for the certificate, these faculty will be joined by outside economists who are experts in forecasting. In addition, a number of faculty from other departments at the University are affiliated with the forecasting programs.

Professor Kajal Lahiri, an internationally recognized forecasting expert, has agreed to spearhead the departmental effort to set up the certificate program and teach some of the core forecasting courses.
