Description

The 2017 Martin H. Crego Lecture in Economics will be delivered by University of Michigan economist Betsey Stevenson. Stevenson’s lecture, “Our Changing Lives, Work, Family and Policy in a Time of Gender Equality,” will draw from her research as a labor economist with a focus on women and families. Stevenson has published widely in leading economics journals about the impact of public policies on the labor market, with a focus on women and families, and on the value of subjective well-being data for policy analysis. Stevenson also served as a member of the Council of Economic Advisors, 2013-2015. She is also a Research Associate with the National Bureau of Economic Research and a columnist for Bloomberg View.
