Paul Krugman joined The New York Times in 1999 as a columnist
on the Op-Ed Page and continues as professor of Economics and
International Affairs at Princeton University.
Mr. Krugman received his B.A. from Yale University in 1974 and
his Ph.D. from MIT in 1977. He has taught at Yale, MIT and Stanford.
At MIT he became the Ford International Professor of Economics.
Mr. Krugman is the author or editor of 20 books and more than
200 papers in professional journals and edited volumes. His professional
reputation rests largely on work in international trade and finance;
he is one of the founders of the "new trade theory,"
a major rethinking of the theory of international trade. In recognition
of that work, in 1991 the American Economic Association awarded
him its John Bates Clark medal, a prize given every two years
to "that economist under forty who is adjudged to have made
a significant contribution to economic knowledge." Mr. Krugman's
current academic research is focused on economic and currency
crises.
At the same time, Mr. Krugman has written extensively for a broader
public audience. Some of his recent articles on economic issues,
originally published in Foreign Affairs, Harvard Business Review,
Scientific American and other journals, are reprinted in Pop Internationalism
and The Accidental Theorist.
