Dear NBER Colleagues:
I am writing to tell you that this will be my last year as president
of the NBER. I am doing this to have more time for writing,
research, teaching, and other things. I will of course remain an
active NBER Research Associate and a professor at Harvard.
Serving as NBER president has been an intellectually and personally
gratifying experience. There is nothing in my professional life that
has given me greater satisfaction.
I will continue in my current position until June 2008. That will
give the NBER Board ample time to identify my successor and for us to
manage the transition together.
I am grateful to all of those who have worked with me during my
years as president: the research associates and faculty research
fellows, the directors of programs and working groups, the project
leaders, and the small but highly effective staff at the NBER.
Sincerely
Marty Feldstein
