Faculty receive Kenneth J. Arrow Award

Anne Case and Christina Paxson will be awarded the 11th Annual Kenneth J. Arrow Award for the Best Paper in Health Economics, to be presented at the 2003 summer meeting of the International Health Economics Association. They share the honor with Darren Lubotsky, assistant professor of labor and industrial relations at the University of Illinois. Their paper "Economic Status and Health in Childhood: The Origins of the Gradient," was published in the American Economic Review in December 2002 and was judged by an international panel of health economists to be "the most important research paper in the field during the previous year."
