Over the summer, Professor Marco Battaglini was elected as an Economic Theory Fellow by the Society for the Advancement of Economic Theory (SAET). Three fellows were chosen by SAET this year.
"Economic Theory Fellows are selected for their scientific excellence, originality, and leadership; high ethical standards; and scholarly and creative achievement. The contributions of fellows may exist in many areas of theoretical economics, including pure and applied research, and government service. The primary qualification for fellowship is to have substantially advanced economic theory. This achievement may be evidenced by an outstanding publication record; strong editorial board service; honorary, scientific, educational and professional achievements, or through the training of graduate students."
