Are you looking for an elective course for Fall 2022?

My name is Cory Smith and I am a new professor in the AREC department. I wanted to spread the word about a course I'll be teaching for the first time: Agricultural Development, Population Growth and the Environment (AREC445). In this course, we will discuss the "big picture" of why the last few centuries of economic development have been so uneven around the world. The material will center on changes in agrarian economies on topics such as:

• Do natural resources, political history, or some other factor best explain why some countries are rich and others poor?
• Does an unequal distribution of land wealth hurt productivity or can it be efficient?
• How will the forces of new technologies and climate change shape and reshape agriculture?

Throughout the term, you will learn how to engage with both historical and contemporary research on this topic as well as gain a practical understanding of the statistical techniques economists use to analyze the causes of these long-term trends.

NABE: Outlook for the Economics Job Market in 2022-23

Outlook for the Economics Job Market in 2022-23

Thursday, June 30

1:00 PM Eastern

The overall economics job market has been seemingly red-hot of late as evidenced by the number of high-profile economists changing roles. Will this momentum continue through the end of the year when newly-minted economists will find themselves exploring the job market for the first time? Or, will hiring plans be dampened by increasing worries about recession? Has inflation eroded hiring budgets?

How should new economists feel about their job prospects in 2022? Will there be more industry and government jobs available relative to academic-track jobs? How will economic conditions affect hiring for industry and tech-sector jobs ? What are the roles and responsibilities of new economists in various sectors? What technical skills and other tools are most desirable from the perspective of employers?

Are you seeking a job in economics this year? Prepare your questions for our panel of hiring managers and find out what awaits both newly-minted and experienced economists seeking opportunities in industry, academia, and government. Join us to get a complete picture of the economics job market in 2022 and beyond.
