• Resumen

  • At the 48 SP th sp Australian Conference of Economists in Melbourne, President Matthew Butlin was pleased to announce that Professor B b Kym Anderson AC is the Economic Society of Australia Distinguished Fellow for 2019. Kym Anderson has worked mostly within the general area of agricultural economics, with a particular emphasis on distortions to agricultural incentives: their measurement, their effects on world trade flows and on incomes and inequality, and their causes in political economy. Matt has been a huge supporter of initiatives such as the establishment of the Women in Economics network and the National Economics Panel - both of which have promoted the profile of the Society and significantly enhanced the professional environment for economists working in Australia. It was during an extended trip around Australia with her husband Ross that Mardi was offered a place as a Ph.D. student in the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University to work with one of Australia's most formidable economists, Adrian Pagan.
