NBER appoints Palmer as a Faculty Research Fellow
The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) has recently appointed four MIT Sloan faculty members as Faculty Research Fellows, including Christopher Palmer, who has been appointed a fellow in the Corporate Finance program. Christian Catalini, Namrata Kala, and Claudia Steinwender were also appointed as fellows. The NBER is the nation’s leading nonprofit economic research organization, whose affiliates have included 27 Nobel Prize winners and 13 past chairs of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. While the NBER remains impartial and does not make public policy recommendations, NBER research findings are disseminated among academics, public policy makers, and business professionals, bringing critical information to many important public policy debates.
