Thanks for the Honour!

Recently, I became an Honorary Professor in the Department of Economics in the Management School at the University of Waikato, in New Zealand. The appointment took effect on 1 January.

The economics group at Waikato is very energetic and productive, so I'm really grateful for this honour and for the opportunity to interact with them .

I'm still on faculty, full-time, at the the University of Victoria in Canada. However, I'm expecting that my new link will enable me to play a more active role in the profession in New Zealand (where I studied and lived for many years) than has been possible in recent times.

So, a big "thank you" to those who made this wonderful opportunity possible!

  2. Congratulations! Waikato is also home of the fabulous Weka machine learning language and package. Perhaps your new link could permit cross-pollination and turn up some good open source research in econometrics.
