It is with great sadness that we report the death of our colleague, Suzanne Scotchmer, at the end of January. Suzanne, who had joint appointments with the Boalt School of Law and Goldman School of Public Policy, was an expert in industrial organization, public finance, law and economics, and economic theory, including work on the economics of innovation and intellectual property rights. Her connection to the Economics Department goes back to her days as a doctoral student here in the late 1970's. An online discussion of her contributions can be found at the link.
