Loris Rubini loves all aspects of academia, encompassing teaching, service and research. However, he admits that he takes particular pride in his research.
This made it especially welcomed news when he learned he had won 2023 Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics Outstanding Researcher Award.
“To me the researcher award is the one I really wanted,” Rubini says. “I value my qualities as a researcher and was very proud.”
Rubini, an associate professor of economics, primarily focuses his research on the intersection of macroeconomics and international trade. The quality and volume of Rubini’s research has been praised by his colleagues and peers.
“Dr. Rubini’s research productivity has been quite impressive over the past several years, with six papers published (and one more forthcoming) since 2019. He also has a sizable pipeline, with one paper at the revise and resubmit stage, seven completed working papers nearing submission, and four works in progress,” Bradley Herring, the McKerley Professor of Health Economics, wrote in his nomination letter.
