Two Arizona State University professors now join the ranks of the prestigious National Academy of Sciences, an organization that advises the federal government on matters of science and technology.
Edward Prescott and Luc Anselin are among 72 new members who were elected in recognition of their accomplishments in original research.
Prescott, who is the chair of economics in the W. P. Carey School of Business, is renowned for his work on business cycles that influenced economist’s thinking about economic fluctuations, arguing that they represent the optimal response of the economy to various shocks. He also is known for his seminal work in policy analysis, economic development, general equilibrium theory and finance. He joined ASU in 2003, and is a regents’ professor and Nobel Laureate.
Anselin is best known for his book “Spatial Econometrics” and his development of the applications SpaceStat and GeoDa. He is recognized as one of the principal developers of the field of spatial econometrics.
Both scholars join 10 other ASU faculty members in the Washington D.C. based organization that has a total number of 2,041 active members.
