Alan Krueger Is In!

Obama announced this morning that Alan Krueger will take over the White House Council of Economic Advisors. This is great news for the country, as Professor Krueger is one of the most prominent labor economists in the world.


For me, this nomination is even more exciting because he's one of the pioneers of the Environmental Kuznet's Curve theory, a central element of most environmental economics literature. I used it extensively in my undergraduate thesis, and I know it will play a big role in my master's degree.

This is a good step forward for the US. Best of luck Dr. Krueger! You'll need it.
