AU's GARRISON RECEIVES ANNUAL PRIZE IN AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS

AUBURN -- Roger Garrison, professor of economics in the Auburn University College of Business, has been selected to receive one of two Smith Center Prizes in Austrian Economics for 2001.

Sponsored by the Smith Center for Private Enterprise Studies, the awards are presented annually to the best book and best journal article in Austrian economics over the previous three years. Recipients are chosen by a committee of three economists who are active contributors to the Austrian economics literature.

Garrison's book, Time and Money: The Macroeconomics of Capital Structure, was published in 2001 by Routledge as part of its series, Foundations of the Market Economy.

Garrison will be recognized at the annual dinner of the Society for the Development of Austrian Economics at the 71st Annual Conference of the Southern Economic Association in Tampa, Fla., on Nov. 17-19.

Garrison, who received his doctorate from the University of Virginia, has been on the faculty at AU since 1978. He has been a leading contributor to the emerging literature on Austrian macro theory.

In addition to his teaching responsibilities, he is an adjunct scholar of the Mises Institute and has written for the Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics and the Review of Austrian Economics.
