The Robert Rosenthal Memorial Lecture is held annually in the spring by BU’s Graduate Economics Association and the Department of Economics. The annual series was founded by the Rosenthal family in honor of Bob Rosenthal, a prominent and beloved faculty member in the Economics Department for many years. The annual lecture usually takes place in late March or April and features a prominent economist chosen by the graduate students. The lecture also provides an opportunity for students to meet with the speaker, share their research ideas, and gain valuable insight. Past speakers have included Ariel Rubinstein (2008), Alvin Roth (2007), and Jean Tirole (2006).
To learn more about Bob Rosenthal’s life and work, please read Roy Radner and Debraj Ray’s tribute published in the Journal of Economic Theory in 2003.
