Our faculty are among the most productive in the world, having place eleventh in the 1995 National Research Council ranking for scholarly citations per faculty member (among Economics Graduate Programs). At the same time, Program faculty are remarkably attentive to the needs of the program participants and support their efforts through effective and relevant courses, active interaction outside the classroom, and guidance on thesis research. We list below all Program faculty -- those having research interests in development economics or who teach courses that GPED students commonly take.
