Jan Philip Steitz receives Perlman award presented by Prof. John Heywood
Jan Philip Steitz wins the Perlman Award for the Best Paper in Labor Economics. His submission of “Income Dynamics and Retirement Decisions” highlights the importance of examining both absolute and relative income measures as determinants of retirement. The Award, first given in 1999, memorializes the contributions of Richard Perlman to UWM and the field of labor economics. A prolific writer of both books and articles, Richard served on the inaugural board of editors of the Journal of Human Resources. An endowment supports the annual Award and allows us to recognize our best students in labor economics.
