Emeriti Faculty Activities
at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies

John Klein reported that he has had contact with three of his former doctoral students. Charles Dale (Ph.D. 1978) is still with the Securities and Exchange Commission; Eungmin Kang (Ph.D. 1990) is still at St. Cloud University, and says the skiing is great; and Yang Tae Lim (Ph.D. 1978) continues as one of South Korea's most active and prolific economists. In addition to his teaching, business and publishing activities, he recently became Dean of the School of Economics and Finance at Hanyang University. As for Professor Klein, he and his wife Sylvia continue to enjoy retirement, having taken their annual pilgrimage to San Francisco and Monterrey, California. On the less favorable side, Professor Klein reports that after a lifetime of excellent health, he had an intra-cranial hemorrhage last September. Fortunately, the only resultant problems were some vision impairment and elevated blood pressure. The moral of the story, he says, is to stay away from cortizone, aspirin, and other inflammatories.

Samuel Skogstad was retained by Development Alternatives, Inc. (DAI), in Washington to draft a technical proposal to USAID to provide all U.S. Government-financed technical assistance to the Government of Ukraine for the next five years. The proposal was successful and DAI won the contract. He worked under contract to USAID to prepare a review of the empirical evidence on the implications for women in developing countries of the rapid global expansion of international trade.

The paper was presented at USAID in Washington in October, 2001.
