Last year's faculty recruitment season was exceedingly successful, with the department filling two positions. Associate Prof. Stefan Hoderlein joins us from Brown University, where he has been Associate Professor since 2008. He has also held visiting positions at Toulouse and Cal Tech, and an assistant professor's position at University of Mannheim. Hoderlein, who is German, received his PhD in 2002 from University of Bonn and London School of Economics, with undergraduate work at the Universities of Hohenheim and Bonn in Germany. He is a specialist in microeconometrics, with publications in Econometrica, Journal of Econometrics, Econometric Theory and the Econometrics Journal.
He will be adding to the department's strengths in undergraduate econometrics this fall, and offering the graduate course in cross section and panel econometrics.
Assistant Prof. Mathis Wagner is our new hire in the field of labor economics. He recently completed the Ph.D. at the University of Chicago after receiving the undergraduate degree from University of Cambridge. Last year, he served as an assistant professor at Collegio Carlo Alberto in Italy. Wagner will be teaching undergraduate micro theory this fall and offering a course in the graduate labor sequence next spring.
We are delighted to welcome Profs. Hoderlein and Wagner to the Boston College economics faculty.
