Economics Professor to Speak on Sorting Equilibrium at Faires Faculty Forum
Posted on Friday, February 3, 2012
Dr. Rotua Lumbantobing, Westminster College assistant professor of economics, will speak on "Revealed Preferences Using Sorting Equilibrium: Research and Pedagogical Applications" at Faires Faculty Forum Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 11:40 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater of the McKelvey Campus Center.
Lumbantobing's research interests are in economic development and applied microeconomics with a current focus on application of sorting equilibrium on how water access affects where people choose to live. The presentation will tie this concept to a teaching technique developed during her graduate studies.
Lumbantobing, who joined the faculty in 2010, earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Indonesia, master's degree from the University of Rochester, and Ph.D. from North Carolina State University.
