Russell Davidson is supporting the greatest needs of his home Department of Economics, see the story  by Stephanie Wereley. In 2016 the Department of Economics established the Russell Davidson Research Fund, which continues to grow thanks to Davidson’s generous contributions. The endowed Fund provides financial assistance to graduate students and assistant professors, and going forward it will support a seminar series, a visitor program, and an annual lecture series. “All these activities are essential to the intellectual life of our department,” says Prof. Francisco Ruge-Murcia, Economics Chair. “We are very grateful to Russell for his generosity.”
