TEACHING AND RESEARCH

Since 1984 I’ve taught undergraduate and graduate courses and supervised MA and PhD students. I’ve taught in traditional core areas of economics with more emphasis on microeconomic theory. I’ve also taught and developed courses in labor economics, pay inequality, development economics, behavioral economics (with some emphasis on experimental economics), economic history and the history of economic thought. Most recently, my teaching and supervisory focus has been on behavioral/experimental economics. At the University of Saskatchewan, my home base since 1988, I’ve supervised over 10 MA theses and served on numerous MA thesis and project committees. I was also supervising or co-supervising three Ph.D. theses at Victoria University of Wellington, where I taught a course on Behavioural Economics and a professional masters course in economic theory. At the University of Newcastle, I’m currently supervising one Ph.d. thesis and give occasional lectures.

Morris Altman, Key Administrative Achievements at Victoria University of Wellington & the University of Saskatchewan

Victoria University of Wellington

I was headhunted to be Head of the School of Economics and Finance, with close to 40 staff and with responsibility for budgetary matters.

Over this period I’ve been able to help transform a highly troubled and problematic unit; problematic in terms of teaching, research, and engaging with the wider university community and faculty.

This was achieved by having a vision of what needed to be done (after consulting with those in the know), but also by always being transparent, engaging in a collegial process, and then moving forward.

I’ve achieved a number of milestones at Victoria. Here are some examples.

§ I helped re-vitalize the School’s research, taking it from the bottom to the top in the

faculty and from the bottom to the top of the economics discipline in New Zealand, based on the government’s performance based research fund evaluation program (PBRF).

§ This was done largely by mentoring both weak and strong researchers and by

hiring new staff on the basis of their research and research potential, their willingness to teach, and their collegiality.

§ I introduced a Professional Development Career Plan for all staff to mentor and

provide direction to them. I introduced a weekly morning tea that was important in

30

fostering social cohesion and networking in the school. § I brought the School of Economics & Finance in line with the AACSB and

EQUIS processes. The School was blocking both of these initiatives. I was active in both of these initiatives.

§ I spearheaded the introduction a new (North American type) Masters program,

which is looked upon as a model for the rest of the Faculty and University. § I developed a Masters in Professional Economics, the first in New Zealand. I

spearheaded the developing and introduction of undergraduate and graduate programmes in actuarial science.

§ I led the development of joint degrees at all levels with international

universities and SEF. § I re-organized our marking and tutor system so that we now have a

supply quality tutors and markers, an improved quality of undergraduate education and provide more job opportunities and critical experience for our post-grad students.

§ In addition, I organized the funding for annual research workshops for the 5 research groups in the School. These are national in scope, but also include Aussie and American participation.

§ I’ve fundraised as well, directly securing a $300,000 endowment. § I also spearheaded the development of an endowed chair in the economics of

disaster, which brought in considerable funds (based on one staff I brought into the school, facing some opposition).

§ Finally, I’m spearheading the establishment of a joint lab in behavioral

economics and economic decision-making and a finance trading lab and teaching space.

§ I took the lead in founding the New Zealand Association for the Study of

Cooperative and Mutuals, and co-organizing its first conference. § I organized successful international meetings for these groups. Most recently

I’ve attracted the Western Economics Association International Meetings to Wellington, which will attract 300-400 economists plus a number of Nobels (2 of our keynotes) to the city.

University of Saskatchewan

I was elected for 5 terms as Department Head of the Economics Department at the University of Saskatchewan (1994 to 2009), where I served as a Full Professor since 1993 (based largely on referee reports of leading American scholars).

I was responsible for budgetary matters.

The Department had fallen from its position as one of Canada’s lead research intensive economics departments in Canada, a position it developed and held from the 1950s into the 1970s, under the leadership of Professor Mabel Timlin, one the godfathers Keynesian economics in North America.

I was elected head, as one who was respected by all sides of the debate. I was already

31

known for making tough decisions in a collegial and fair manner and having a team approach to organization building. I was also know as a strong researcher with strong international connections who would go out of his way to mentor colleagues and students.

I introduced differential teaching, as well the recognition of research grants (applications and success) and PG supervision in workload determination. I also introduced a transparent process to determine merit pay (a large percentage of pay for research intensive academics) and overload teaching, with the latter related to research funding requirements.

I introduced a web discussion paper series linked to the international social science-business school-law school repository, RePec.

I also introduced a peer reviewed student journal.

Moreover, I developed an undergraduate major in Business Economics, which has since become the most popular major in the Economics and one of the most popular in the Faculty. It’s been critical to attracted increasing numbers of international students. Getting this programme through the administrative process took 4 years, with much politicking and networking.

The end result was that an external review awarded the Economics Department the highest score for teaching and research (equivalent to an ERA 5), at the undergraduate level. At the graduate level, because we did not have a Phd programme, independent from Agricultural Economics, we were awarded a score of 4, with the recommendation that the university support the development of a PhD programme.

Apart from these achievements I was working with an affiliated Catholic university in Saskatoon (Saint Thomas More (STM)) that had been completely alienated by the economics department at the University of Saskatchewan. We established a proper economics department at STM, bringing in additional staff, thereby enhancing the teaching and research capabilities in economics at the University of Saskatchewan.

I was also at the forefront in lobbying and planning for the establishment of a behavioural decision-making lab at the university, the funding for which was secured after I left. The lab configuration at the UoS is now one of the best in Canada.

In addition, I pioneered a programme from visiting scholar from abroad (but with a heavy focus on China). This attracted many scholars who developed longstanding relationships with the Department and the University.

I also further developed research relationships with Ukrainian universities.
