Payne Named Research Fellow

Dr. James E. Payne

At the 32nd annual conference of the Academy of Economics and Finance, Professor James E. Payne, Chair of the Department of Economics, was selected as a Research Fellow of the Academy. The Research Fellow Award recognizes lifetime achievement in scholarship. Professor Payne has published 100 refereed journal articles as well as numerous book chapters, conference proceedings, book reviews, and practitioner articles. Last year, he also received international recognition for his scholarly contributions, making the list of the Top 400 most prolific economists in the world from 1990-2000. “Dr. Payne’s accomplishments are extraordinary,” said Dean Olson. “He is one of those rare individuals who can keep up with the day-to-day workload of an administrator and also continue to thrive in his scholarly endeavors.”

In addition to his duties as Chair of the Department of Economics, he is currently the co-editor of the Journal of Economics and Finance and serves on the editorial boards of the Global Review of Business and Economics Research, Frontiers in Finance and Economics, and the Journal of Forensic Economics.

Payne’s research interests lie in applied time series econometrics with a focus on open-economy macroeconomics, financial economics, public finance, and regional economics. His work appears in numerous academic outlets, including the Review of Economics and Statistics, Journal of Regional Science, Journal of Macroeconomics, Journal of Risk and Insurance, Southern Economic Journal, and Economics Letters. Payne also served as a Fulbright Research Scholar at the Institute of Economics in Zagreb, Croatia.

Payne will be formally inducted as a Research Fellow at the 33rd annual meeting of the Academy in Pensacola, Florida.
