Academic year 2016-17 was a spectacular year for support from the Yoshio Niho Research Excellence Fund<\/a>!\u00a0 This was the first year we were able to make four awards.\u00a0 These awards allow our faculty to give papers and conduct research that would otherwise be impossible.<\/p>\n

The details of the four awards are below and we encourage you to contribute to help the fund grow<\/a>!<\/p>\n

“The Niho Fund allowed me to both attend a conference in my field and, critically, to hire student data help.\u00a0 That help was instrumental in my recent publication in the European Economic Review<\/em>.\u00a0 It is simply wonderful as a junior faculty member to benefit from the Fund.\u00a0 I thank all its contributors.”\u00a0 — Itziar Lazkano<\/p>\n

“I was delighted to hire students who entered data from historical records.\u00a0 This data is crucial for my examination of demographic changes in the US South following the civil rights movement. \u00a0This painstaking work would not have happened without\u00a0the Niho Fund!\u00a0 Support from the fund has proven critical to both doing and presenting my research. — Owen Thompson<\/p>\n

“The Niho Fund helped with costs to present my work at a major regional conference, to work with coauthors, and to purchase valuable statistical software.\u00a0 In these times of diminishing support from the University, the Fund makes all the difference in remaining an active and productive scholar.\u00a0 I appreciate the vote of confidence!” — Rebecca Neumann<\/p>\n

The Niho Fund allowed me to present work (joint with a former 51ÁÔÆæ PhD Student) at the Southern Economic Association meetings in in November: \u00a0“Estimating Excess Sensitivity and Habit Persistence in Consumption using Greenbook forecast as an instrument.” It also helped offset expenses at the ISI conference on Growth and Development in December where I presented “Examining the Success of the Central Banks in Inflation Targeting Countries: The Dynamics of Inflation Gap and the Institutional Characteristics.” \u00a0The opportunities provided by the Niho Fund support me, help my former students and raise the profile of 51ÁÔÆæ Economics \u2013 thank you. — Kundan Kishor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
