National Academic Advisory Board 

Public Interest Institute is pleased to welcome three leading authorities in the field of economics to our National Academic Advisory Board. First, Dr. Richard Wagner has agreed to serve as Chairman of the Advisory Board. He will be joined by eleven other scholars in the fields of political science, public policy, and economics, including Dr. Peter Aranson of Emory University and Dr. Richard Vedder of Ohio University, both of whom are profiled here.

Dr. Wagner is the Holbert R. Harris Professor of Economics at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia where he has taught since 1988. His writings have covered a broad range of topics in political economy, public policy, and public finance. He has written over 20 books, including Public Debt in a Democratic Society, Democracy in Deficit (both co-authored with Nobel laureate James Buchanan), and To Promote the General Welfare. Dr. Wagner has also served as Scholar-in-Residence at Public Interest Institute.
