Professor, (Ph.D.,
Duke University, 1984) Comparative Economics, Microeconomics.
Dr.
Alexeev's research and teaching interests lie mostly in the fields of
comparative economics and economics of transition from a Soviet-type economy to
a market economy. Recently he has also been interested in comparative analysis
of institutions and in law and economics. In studying the economics of
transition, Dr. Alexeev concentrates on the behavior of various economic agents
(enterprise managers, consumers, government officials) paying special attention
to informal aspects such as underground economic activities. Dr. Alexeev's
research has appeared in Journal of Economic Theory, Review of
Economics and Statistics, and European Economic Review, as
well as in comparative economics journals and edited volumes. Since early 1992

ROBERT A. BECKER,
Professor, (Ph.D., University of Rochester, 1978),
Capital Theory, Mathematical Economics. Professor
Becker's primary research and teaching interests are in the fields of capital
theory, general equilibrium analysis, and game theory. His current research
examines the dynamics of the Nash map, which originally arose in the study of
n-person games. Most of his research has focused on the relationship between
optimal growth paths and dynamic equilibrium programs, as well as on the
dynamics of capital accumulation programs with heterogeneous agents and
incomplete markets. He has been engaged in a study of the foundations of
recursive utility functions that serve as the objective of agents in a variety
of dynamic models. This research is presented in his monograph Capital
Theory, Equilibrium Analysis, and Recursive Utility (co-authored with
John H. Boyd, III) published by Basil Blackwell Publishers in 1997. He has
published articles on questions arising in dynamic competitive models in
journals including the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Journal of
Economic Theory, Economic Theory, Journal of Mathematical Economics,
and Econometrica. Professor Becker is also the co-editor with Professor
Edwin Burmeister of Growth Theory, Edward Elgar, 1990. This is a three
volume collection of reprinted articles on descriptive, optimal and equilibrium
growth theories. Professor Becker is also serving as an Associate Editor of
The International Journal of Economic Theory, and Studies in Nonlinear
Dynamics and Econometrics. Professor Becker is currently Executive
Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

Professor Rotella specializes in the economic history of the U.S. and in
labor and demographic economics. She teaches undergraduate and graduate
courses on economic history and on economic issues related to women. Much of
her research has examined the role of women in the U.S. economy. In her
book, From Home to Office: U.S. Women at Work, 1870-1930 (UMI
Research Press, 1981) she analyzes the growth of female labor force
participation and the transformation of clerical occupations from all-male
to all-female jobs. She has published articles on women in the labor force
in the Journal of Economic History and Explorations in Economic
History as well as in other journals and in edited books. Currently she
is working on the history of savings and debt. This research looks at the
ways that urban working class families used savings, borrowing, and
insurance to smooth consumption. She uses data from household budget studies
and business records to examine saving and borrowing behavior. Among the
institutions she examines are savings banks, mortgage lending, and
pawnbroking. Her research in demographic economics includes a survey of the
relationship between fertility and nuptiality in LDCs and an ongoing project
which examines the relationship between municipal expenditures on sanitation
and mortality from water-borne diseases. In 1998/99, Professor Rotella spent

Jim Self’s teaching interests lie
primarily in fields of introductory economics and public finance. Jim
joined Indiana University in 2002 with his primary responsibilities being to
teach large lecture sections of introductory microeconomics and
macroeconomics. Jim also regularly teaches a two course sequence of
advanced undergraduate public sector economics and is the coordinator for
the department’s microeconomic principle course. His research interests are
focused in public finance and issues of economic efficiency. In one line of
research Jim is looking at developing a tax system efficiency metric that
can be used to consistently compare alternative tax systems with
consideration of both compliance and deadweight loss costs. In another
line of research, Jim is studying the effect on the overall economy that is
transmitted from the stock market as a result of agency problems between
principals and management. The framework for the research assumes general
market efficiency in the Fama sense but allows for anomalous behavior. One
goal is to link stock market performance to long term economic performance.
Jim completed his graduate work at Southern Illinois University with a
Ph.D. in Economics in 2002. Jim also serves in the United States Marine
Corps Reserve as an Air Control Officer with an occupational specialty in
