NBER Appoints 63 New Affiliates
Following a call for nominations in January, the NBER has appointed 63 new affiliates: 19 Research Associates and 44 Faculty Research Fellows. In addition, six Faculty Research Fellows have been promoted to Research Associates.
The directors of the NBER’s 19 research programs recommend appointments after consulting with steering committees made up of leading scholars. Research Associate appointments must be approved by the NBER Board of Directors, while Faculty Research Fellows are appointed by the NBER president. All new affiliates must hold primary academic appointments in North America; Research Associates must have tenure.
The newly appointed researchers serve on the faculties of 39 different colleges and universities. They received their graduate training at 29 different institutions. The new appointments bring the total number of Research Associates to 1,532 and the number of Faculty Research Fellows to 319.
