The Murphy Institute organizes and sponsors a variety of events during the course of a typical academic year. We record our events so community members around the world can view the lectures.
Fall 2022 Yates Lecture: Children and the US Social Safety Net
The Fall 2022 Yates Lecture featured Hilary Hoynes, Professor of Public Policy and Economics and the Haas Distinguished Chair in Economic Disparities at the University of California Berkeley. In this lecture, Professor Hoynes discusses the emerging research that examines how the social safety net affects children's life trajectories. The evidence shows that programs targeted toward child poverty not only have long-run benefits for families, but also constitute a great public investment.
Books
The books in the Studies In Political Economy series are occasional volumes sponsored by the Murphy Institute and Cambridge University Press, comprising original essays by leading scholars in the United States and other countries. Each volume considers one of the intellectual preoccupations or analytical procedures currently associated with the term “political economy.”
The goal of the series is to aid scholars and teachers committed to moving beyond the traditional boundaries of their disciplines in a common search for new insights and new ways of studying the political and economic realities of our time. The series is published with the support of the Tulane-Murphy Foundation.
