The Murphy Institute Seminar Series in Economics
Each semester The Murphy Institute sponsors a series of seminars organized by the Tulane Department of Economics that provides an opportunity for faculty, researchers, and practitioners to present their latest research and pressing issues related to topics in political economy. Research presented covers all aspects of contemporary economics, including the economics of education, health economics, and public economics, as well as in economic history, international economics, and core areas in political economy. Papers are distributed one week beforehand to the participants who read the paper and prepare discussion questions for the presenter.
Kristina Manysheva is an Assistant Professor within the Economic Division at Columbia Business School. Manysheva's research focuses on the macroeconomic aspects of economic development. She uses macro models that incorporate empirically motivated micro-economic features, such as heterogeneity and market frictions, to evaluate the quantitative impact of various policies and institutions in a general equilibrium setting. Examples of her research topics include the role of financial and land markets in the process of economic development; the impact of spatial, financial, and educational segregation on socioeconomic outcomes, innovation and economic growth.
