- Honor recognizes faculty member for work with graduate students
David Neumark, economics Chancellor’s Professor and Center for Economics and Public
Policy director, is the 2015 recipient of the Associated Graduate Students’ Faculty
Mentoring Award. The honor recognizes an outstanding tenured or non-tenured faculty
member who inspires and guides their students in their work, and whose dedication
to graduate learning has made significant contributions to both the professional development
and quality of life of their students.
Neumark was nominated by his graduate students for being “incredibly generous with
his time and advice, freely extending offers to review applications, suggesting grants
and fellowships to apply for, writing glowing letters of recommendation, and often
inviting graduate students to co-author with him.”
Neumark is an expert on minimum wage and labor policy. His policy-focused research
has been published widely in more than 100 studies in top academic journals, and he’s
cited almost daily by top international media outlets. He’s authored six books and
currently serves as editor of the IZA Journal of Labor Policy and co-editor of the Journal of Urban Economics, while holding posts on editorial boards of three others. He’s testified before Congress
on the ineffectiveness of California’s Enterprise Zone Program, based on research
in which he found the program had no measurable effect on new job creation for businesses
located within zone boundaries. His most recent work, funded by the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation, has focused on age discrimination in the hiring process.
