Each faculty member engages in one or more of these complementary activities of the

Department.

As a part of the education program of the Department, the staff periodically publishes research results, papers, and speeches. This portion of their work is indexed annually and catalogued so that it may be used as a reference for their projects and activities, and to make it more readily available to others. Also included are publications of former Department members where the publications are based on work conducted while at the University of Minnesota . This listing does not reflect all the educational research, teaching, or extension endeavors of the staff. It includes only that portion that is in print. Publications are indexed by author.

The Department also issues a quarterly report “Minnesota Applied Economist” that highlights news and publications of the Department and its members. Electronic copies of past issues are available at http://www.apec.umn.edu/MnApEc.html . If you would like to receive this report electronically as it is issued, please contact the editor at: apecmae@umn.edu
