Economics Graduate is Co-editor of Basic Border Econometrics

Tom Fullerton, MS 1984, is co-editor of "Basic Border Econometrics," UACJ Press. Border economics is an area of the discipline where unsubstantiated claims abound, but relatively little empirical documentation is referenced on an ongoing basis. This collection is designed to help draw attention to some aspects of the United States-Mexico border for which careful empirical analysis has been attempted. Martha Patricia Barraza de Anda, Research Provost at Universidad Autnoma de Ciudad Jurez, is also a co-editor.

University Closed July 4

In observance of the national Independence Day holiday, university offices will be closed and classes will not be held on Wednesday, July 4.
