Professor Arthur Lewbel was presented with the Boston College Distinguished Research Award in a Faculty Day ceremony on May 10, 2004. This award, presented to only two faculty members per year (one from the senior faculty, one from the junior faculty), was conferred by Academic Vice President and Dean of Faculties John Neuhauser. Neuhauser quoted from an outside reviewer's evaluation of Lewbel's research program which identified him as "one of the ten best econometricians in the world".
Arthur Lewbel joined the Boston College faculty as a Professor in 1998. He earned the Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1984 and served as a professor at Brandeis University for several years, as well as a visiting professor at MIT's Sloan School of Management and Boston University. He serves on a number of editorial boards and has received several grants supporting his research from the National Science Foundation. Last year, he was named a Fellow of the Econometric Society, a signal honor in his discipline from this prestigious international society.
Lewbel becomes the second member of the economics faculty to have received the Distinguished Research Award from the University; Prof. James E. Anderson was one of the inaugural recipients of this award in 1999.
