R. Glenn Hubbard, the Russell L. Carson Professor of Economics and Finance, returns to Columbia Business School after a two-year appointment in Washington as chairman of President George W. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers. During his time in Washington, Hubbard worked closely with the president and his economic team during a period of record productivity growth. Hubbard had broad responsibilities in budget and tax policy, health care, Social Security, international finance and environmental policy. He was particularly instrumental in drafting the president’s recently announced tax plan. A renowned scholar and educator, Professor Hubbard will resume teaching classes on entrepreneurial finance, tax policy and money and financial markets in the MBA and Executive MBA programs this summer.
