Harvard economist to deliver Knight Lecture

Edward L. Glaeser, the Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics at Harvard University, will visit Cornell on May 4 to deliver the Frank Knight Lecture in the Department of Economics.

Glaeser's talk, "Let's talk about cities, housing and infrastructure," will take place from 4:30-6 p.m. in Malott Hall, Room 228.

"Glaeser's scholarship has had an extraordinary influence on the study of cities and economic development, and we are excited to have him share his insights with our community," said Eleonora Patacchini, the Stephen and Barbara Friedman Professor of Economics in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Glaeser has taught economic theory and urban economics at Harvard since 1992. He also leads the Urban Economics Working Group at the National Bureau of Economics Research, co-leads the Cities Programme of the International Growth Centre and co-edits the Journal of Urban Economics.
