 In recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research, Harvard Economics professors [Drew Fudenberg](http://scholar.harvard.edu/fudenberg) and [Lawrence Katz](http://scholar.harvard.edu/lkatz) were elected to the National Academy of Sciences.

 Fudenberg is the Frederic E. Abbe Professor of Economics. His research has focused on game theory but also includes decision theory, behavioral economics, and experimental economics. His recent article, [“An Approximate Dual-Self Model and Paradoxes of Choice under Risk,”](http://scholar.harvard.edu/files/fudenberg/files/approximate_dual-self_model.pdf) with David K. Levine and Zacharias Maniadis is forthcoming in the Journal of Economic Psychology.

 Katz is the Elisabeth Allison Professor of Economics. His research focuses on issues in labor economics and the economics of social problems. Katz’s most recent work, “America's Job Challenges and the Continuing Role of the U.S. Department of Labor,” is forthcoming in the Industrial and Labor Relations Review. Those newly elected to the National Academy of Sciences bring the total number of active members to 2,214 and the total number of foreign associates to 444. [The National Academy of Sciences](http://www.nasonline.org/) is a private, nonprofit institution that was established under a congressional charter signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. It recognizes achievement in science by election to membership, and -- with the National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council -- provides science, technology, and health policy advice to the federal government and other organizations.
