One of the most prestigious international economics journals has recognized Bowling Green State University Economics Professor, Dr. Timothy Fuerst, for his scholarly contributions over the past four years. Dr. Fuerst’s article, "Investment and interest rate policy: A discrete time analysis" has been recognized by The Journal of Economic Theory as one of the 20 most cited articles from 2004-2008.

In addition to this outstanding honor, Dr. Fuerst was among nine of the country’s top macroeconomists invited to present a paper at a conference hosted by the Federal Reserve Board on June 4 and 5 in Washington, D.C. Dr. Fuerst’s paper was entitled "Optimal Monetary Policy in a Model with Agency Costs," co-authored with Charles Carlstrom and Matthias Paustian (a former economics faculty member at BGSU). Mr. Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, attended the conference and provided the opening remarks.

Dr. John Hoag, chair of BGSU’s economics department, praised Dr. Fuerst’s most recent honor. "This is an unusual opportunity for someone, and we are delighted to have someone so well regarded."

Earlier this year, Dr. Fuerst was named a senior economic advisor for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. The economics professor has provided his expertise on money, financial markets, and monetary policy to the bank as a consultant since 1994.

Dr. Fuerst received his master’s and Ph.D. in economics from The University of Chicago and joined the BGSU College of Business Administration in 1993.
