New Directors of Two NBER Programs

In September 2016, Catherine Wolfram, the Cora Jane Flood Professor of Business Administration at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, and an NBER research associate, will suceed Don Fullerton of the University of Illinois as the director of the Environmental and Energy Economics (EEE) Program. Fullerton launched the EEE Program in 2007.

In another leadership change, Stephen Redding, the Harold T. Shapiro '64 Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics and the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, will succeed Robert Feenstra of the University of California, Davis, as the director of the International Trade and Investment (ITI) Program. Feenstra has led the Program since 1992, when the NBER's International Economics Program, which had been led by William Branson, was divided into the ITI and International Finance and Macroeconomics (IFM) Programs.
