As part of its mission, the University of Georgia "endeavors to prepare the university community and the state for full participation in the global society of the 21st century." The Department of Economics plays a vital role in this mission in two important ways. For students interested in business careers, economics is an essential foundation for business education. Similarly, when it's viewed in the broader sense of a liberal arts education, economics is a core discipline and an integral part of a well-rounded course of study.
We strive to promote high-quality research and scholarship, and to provide students with an excellent education in economics that gives them a conceptual framework for understanding the world, a set of skills for pursuing leadership in the world's private enterprise system, and a foundation for advanced study and research.
Assistant Professor John Turner is co-organizing a symposium on the forthcoming book "Patent Failure: How Judges, Bureaucrats and Lawyers put Innovators at Risk," by Boston University law professors Jim Bessen and Mike Meurer. The Department of Economics is co-sponsoring the event, which will be held March 29, 2008 at UGA Law School's Dean Rusk Center.
