Economist Alan Blinder Wins AAPSS 2023 Moynihan Prize

The American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS), a COSSA member, has announced the winner of the 2023 Daniel Patrick Moynihan Prize, which annually recognizes “a leading policymaker, social scientist, or public intellectual whose career demonstrates the value of using research and evidence to improve the human condition.” This year’s winner is Dr. Alan Blinder, a Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University. Dr. Blinder is celebrated for his extensive and influential years of public service, including serving as a member of President Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisers and Vice Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Dr. Blinder has three degrees in Economics, from Princeton University, London School of Economics, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He frequently appears on television to provide economical insight for the American public.

Later this year in Washington, DC, Blinder will receive the Moynihan prize and give a lecture, followed by a panel discussion on contemporary economic circumstances.
