Professor Elhanan Helpman Elected as New Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy
Harvard Economics Professor Elhanan Helpman was recently elected as a Corresponding Fellow at the Annual General Meeting of the British Academy on July 19, 2012.
Corresponding Fellows of the British Academy are elected from overseas universities, and Professor Helpman was elected as one of 15 new Corresponding Fellows. The British Academy elected 38 new Fellows from 23 institutions across the U.K. Elected Fellows to the British Academy are highly distinguished academics, each recognized for his or her outstanding research in their respective fields.
Professor Helpman's contributions to economic research include studies of the balance of payments, exchange rate regimes, stabilization programs and foreign debt.
