ANDERSON FORECAST

The UCLA Anderson Forecast, a research center in the Anderson School of Management, is seeking to fill a position at the assistant or associate adjunct professor level starting in the 2024-25 academic year. The position has three components: the quarterly production of a forecast of the US economy, research on the implications of policy, alone and in collaboration with other Forecast economists, and teaching MBA courses. The forecast and research will be presented in various forums. Strong quantitative skills and knowledge of macroeconomics is required. We welcome candidates whose experience in teaching or research has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree in Economics.

The salary range for this position is $94,300-$133,500.

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists to whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists’ current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” into RECRUIT as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.

As a University employee, you will be required to comply with all applicable University policies and/or collective bargaining agreements, as may be amended from time to time. Federal, state, or local government directives may impose additional requirements.

The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.

UCLA Professor Martin Hackmann wins the Warren C. Scoville Distinguished Teaching Award for Winter 2024

UCLA Professor Martin Hackmann has won the Warren C. Scoville Distinguished Teaching Award for Winter 2024 for his course Econ131: Economics of Health and Healthcare. The course focuses on the economic analysis of the U.S. medical care sector, a major industry with $4.5 trillion in spending, accounting for 17% of GDP. It delves into the economics of health care, focusing on the production and financing of medical services. Key topics include health insurance, asymmetric information, hospital competition, physician roles in patient choices, and government interventions. Emphasizing both theory and evidence, the course covers seminal theoretical models and empirical landmark studies that test key predictions and present crucial facts for public debate. The course covers health care demand, socioeconomic health disparities, the physician labor market, the hospital industry, insurance demand, adverse selection, moral hazard, pharmaceuticals, innovation, technology’s impact on health care costs, and significant health programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and employer-sponsored insurance. Professor Hackman’s profile can be found here .

UC Berkeley Job Market Paper Recognized for its Innovation and Policy Import by Inaugural CEGA Award

The prize was awarded to Nick Swanson for his dissertation on under-training in informal markets in Burundi.

BERKELEY, CA (13 May, 2024) – A new job market paper co-authored by Nick Swanson , PhD Student in Economics at UC Berkeley, was recognized during Commencement on Saturday by the Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) Doctoral Dissertation Prize in Development Economics for its outstanding research contributions.

Swanson’s job market paper — authored with Luisa Cefala (UC Berkeley), Pedro Naso (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences), and Michel Ndayikeza (University of Clermont Auvergne and University of Burundi) — explores a surprising discovery: that new agricultural technologies may not always sufficiently diffuse to a community from a handful of initial trainees because of network constraints. Their findings indicate that worker productivity and output are impeded by differences in the private and social returns to training.

“Essentially, we found that employer farmers comprised one network and laborers comprised another, and the two were pretty distinct,” says Swanson. “Employers were much wealthier and didn’t typically socialize with workers, which complicated the diffusion of agriculture extension trainings.”

Recognized for its technical strength, creativity, and significant policy relevance, the paper was selected from a competitive field by a review committee of UC Berkeley professors who specialize in development economics, including Edward Miguel, Supreet Kaur, and Frederico Finan.

“One of the core aspects that set Nick’s paper apart was its innovative approach to understanding labor market constraints and how they affect social and economic development in low- and middle-income countries,” says Miguel. “The paper’s findings expand our understanding of how informal networks can function and offer novel evidence relevant to practitioners and policymakers.”

The prize builds on CEGA’s existing support for graduate student research, including the Development Economics Challenge, a program that competitively awards seed funding to original research projects led by UC Berkeley PhD students. Since 2011, CEGA has awarded more than $800,000 to graduate student projects in over 30 countries. Swanson was a previous recipient of a seed grant through the Challenge.

Formerly known as the Journal of Development Economics Prize, CEGA assumed management of the award in 2023 and increased the value of the cash prize. Past winners of the Prize include Max Lauletta (2023), Arlen Guarin (2022), Christian Brown (2021), Isabela Manelici (2020), Anne Karing (2019), and Michael Walker (2018).

To learn more about CEGA’s support for graduate student research, visit the CEGA website or contact Samarth Bordia at bordia [at] berkeley [dot] edu.

The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) is a hub for research, training and innovation headquartered at the University of California, Berkeley. CEGA generates insights that leaders can use to improve policies, programs, and people’s lives. Its academic network includes more than 160 faculty, 65 scholars from low- and middle-income countries, and hundreds of graduate students — from diverse academic disciplines around the world — that produce rigorous evidence about what works to expand education, health, and economic opportunities for people living in poverty.
