Kevin Jacobson's Company Details
The University of Minnesota Department of Economics has historically been one of the top in the world, producing nine Nobel Prize winning faculty and alumni along the way. Launched in 2010, the Heller-Hurwicz Economics Institute is building a bridge between its field-shaping, world-class economic research and policy that promotes the public good.Personified by its namesakes, Heller-Hurwicz pairs the best in research with the best in policymaking. Nobel prize-winning Leo Hurwicz developed the theory of mechanism design and influential policymaker Walter Heller was responsible for major federal policy initiatives while advising Presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Away from the pressures of Washington and Wall Street, Heller-Hurwicz is becoming a global leader in translating frontier economic research into real-world policy solutions.
