Department Home Page
The Department of Economics is a jewel in the crown of the University of Massachusetts at
Amherst...It has a highly distinguished faculty working within several different traditions in
economics: Marxian, post-Keynesian, institutionalist, historical, non-Marxian radical political
economy, and feminist economics. Many members of the faculty enjoy national and international
reputations for the quality, originality, and relevance of their work.
