Economics kudos

Michael Haupert

Michael Haupert, Economics, authored the article "A Club Fit to Represent This City: The Origins of the Chicago White Stockings" in NINE: A Journal of Baseball History and Culture published on July 26 by University of Nebraska Press. Today’s Major League Baseball team, the Chicago White Sox, started as the Chicago White Stockings in 1870. In this work, Dr. Haupert describes the lasting impact that founding White Stockings team executives William Hulbert and Albert Spalding had on improving the professional sport’s reputation, attendance, and profitability. More than 150 years later, Major League Baseball still resembles the league that Hulbert and Spalding formed. Their legacy is the multi-billion-dollar professional sports industry that exists today.

James Murray

James Murray, Economics, authored the article "Fiscal policy reactions and impact over the labor income distribution" in Economic Analysis and Policy published on Sept. 1 by Elsevier. In this work, he examines a menu of potential economic stimulus policies and finds empirical evidence that the policies most effective for helping the lowest-income workers are even more highly effective for high-income workers. Therefore, the policies that best help low-income workers during recessions also worsen income inequality. He also finds the most effective policies are often the ones least used, while the least effective policies are most used.
