Frank S.T. Hsiao Four Decades of Outstanding Scholarship, Teaching, and Service
| In the fall of 1966, a young economist named Frank Hsiao
came to CU-Boulder as a visiting assistant professor after finishing
his PhD in economics at the University of Rochester. As the
country was torn by the Vietnam War and Bob Dylan’s song “Like a Rolling Stone” topped the charts, Visiting Professor
Hsiao was developing papers that would soon be published in
the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy,
and Econometrica, all considered the premier scholarly journals
in economics. The quality of this work did not escape the
attention of the permanent CU economics faculty and Frank
Hsiao became an assistant professor in 1967, an associate professor
in 1969, and a full professor in 1975. Among Professor Hsiao’s many professional accomplishments to date, he has published over 100 scholarly works, developed over 20 courses for the University of Colorado, held visiting positions at many of the world’s finest universities, and served as primary advisor to scores of undergraduate and graduate students. In May 2007, Professor Hsiao was unanimously voted professor emeritus by the CU economics department faculty. While emeritus is “retired or honorably discharged from professional service,” this is hardly the case for Professor Hsiao, who has over a dozen research projects underway and continues to advise graduate students. This year we celebrate over four decades of Professor Hsiao’s outstanding scholarship, teaching, and service at CU-Boulder. We look forward to Professor Hsiao’s continuing contributions as professor emeritus! |
