About the Hutchinson Lecture in Economics
The Department of Economics in UD’s Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics established the Hutchinson Lecture in Economics in 1990 to honor the distinguished academic career of the late Harry D. Hutchinson.
Hutchinson received his doctorate in economics from the University of Michigan and taught in the economics department from 1959 until his retirement in 1989. His career was defined by excellence in teaching and scholarship, especially in macroeconomics. Hutchinson’s very successful textbook, Money, Banking and The U.S. Economy, was the foundation for many students’ introduction to financial institutions.
Each year a distinguished scholar and policy-maker in the area of macroeconomics or monetary policy is invited to UD to present the Hutchinson Lecture on a topic of current interest in banking and/or finance.
Recent previous lecturers include William L. Wascher, deputy director of the Federal Reserve Board’s Research and Statistics Division; Michael C. Jensen, Jesse Isidor Strauss Professor Emeritus at Harvard University; and Warren Coats of the International Monetary Fund.
