Congratulations and Names in the News
Thomas Hertel has been named to the Board of Directors,
AAEA Foundation.
Professor John M. Connor will be the recipient of the 2003
Jerry S. Cohen Memorial Fund Writing Award for his book
Global Price Fixing: Our Customers Are the Enemy (Boston,
Mass.: Kluwer Academic Publishers). This award is intended
to honor publications that reflect “..a concern for
principles of economic justice, the dispersal of economic
power, ..or federal statutes designed to protect society
from various forms of anticompetitive activity.”
The Cohen award will be presented at the annual meeting
of the American Antitrust Institute on June 24th at the
National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The Cohen Award
was created to honor the memory of the founding partner
of the Washington, D.C. law firm of Cohen, Milstein, Hausfeld
& Toll. Dr. Connor will be donating the cash prize to
fund a graduate research fellowship at the University of
Wisconsin named for Professor Willard F. Mueller (to whom
the book is dedicated) and to the Purdue Department of Agricultural
Economics.

The Center for Global Trade Analysis is holding its annual
advisory board meeting June 9-11, 2003 in The Hague, The
Netherlands. This meeting brings together representatives
from each of 19 sponsor organizations to review progress
over the past year and to advise the Center on future directions
for the Global Trade Analysis (GTAP). Sponsors include a
number of US agencies (Department of Agriculture, Environmental
Protection Agency, International Trade Commission), national
agencies from Europe and Asia, as well as leading international
organizations concerned with global economic analysis such
as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,
the World Trade Organization and the World Bank. The Board
meeting will be followed immediately by the Annual Conference
on Global Economic Analysis. This event is co-sponsored
each year by Purdue’s Center for Global Economic Analysis
and brings together more than one hundred economists and
policy makers from dozens of countries to present GTAP-based
research on topics ranging from global trade liberalization
to climate change policy.

Dr. Huie Honored
On Thursday, May 15, at a dinner meeting between Purdue
School of Agriculture and Indiana Farm Bureau staff and
leadership, John Huie was honored with a Sagamore of the
Wabash. Mike Gery, Executive Assistant to Governor O’Bannon,
presented the honor to Dr. Huie in recognition of his outstanding
career at Purdue and in state government and for his service
to the citizens of Indiana. Others who were supportive of
John’s nomination included local legislators Senator
Ron Alting, Representative Sue Scholer, and Representative
Sheila Klinker, and Farm Bureau representative, Bob Cherry,
who helped with the presentation.
Dr. Huie has a long and varied career serving the people
of Indiana and the students and personnel at Purdue University.
He joined the Purdue faculty in 1968 as a professor in the
School of Agriculture. His major areas of expertise included
financing of state and local government, solid-waste management,
community development and public policy.
In 1976, John took a leave of absence from Purdue to accept
an appointment as state budget director in Gov. Otis Bowen’s
administration. In 1981 he became chairman of the State
Board of Tax Examiners where he served until 1983 when he
became the executive assistant for policy development under
Gov. Robert Orr.
In 1985, Dr. Huie returned to Purdue where he worked in
an administrative capacity and handled special projects
for President Steven Beering. In 1987, John was promoted
to vice president for state relations. In this capacity,
he served as Purdue’s full-time liaison with the state
legislature and other state agencies.
In 1999, John returned to the Ag Economics Department and
also served as a special assistant to the president where
he was the liaison with the governor for policy analysis
and economic development. In addition, he was appointed
by the governor to serve on INTELENET, the state commission
that brokers telecommunications services for public entities.
Congratulations, John!
