Simeon Alder
Winning the Ettinger Prize was a fitting way to wrap up my time at UCLA. It capped months of intensive research and marked the starting point of my transition from graduate student to assistant professor. Importantly, the Ettinger Family Program supported my research in numerous ways even before I won the prize. The program?s funding for the macroeconomics workshop enabled me ? and many of my fellow prize winners ? to interact with visiting scholars from leading academic institutions. Undoubtedly, these opportunities to discuss work in progress had a lasting impact on my work. In fact, the seminar series at Notre Dame has been remodeled after the Ettinger Workshop for precisely this reason.
