About
The Harvard Economics Department has long tried to use scholarship to fight the world's most pressing problems. Our members -- faculty and students -- work on climate change and game theory, racial inequities and econometric methods, recessions and health insurance, gender norms and stock market crashes, political dysfunction and global poverty. Nothing should limit the economist's imagination.
