The American Economic Association named Susan M. Collins, former Joan and Sanford Weill Dean of the Ford School and current Boston Federal Reserve Bank President and CEO, as one of four Distinguished Fellows for 2025.
The award recognizes the lifetime contributions of highly distinguished economists in the United States and Canada. Collins’ career has spanned teaching and research, academic administration, and public service. She has continuously exemplified the AEA’s code of conduct, which calls for “intellectual and professional integrity,” and for fostering a “professional environment with equal opportunity and fair treatment for all economists.”
“My sincere thanks to the AEA, and congratulations to my fellow honorees,” Collins said about the award. “I appreciate this honor, and the opportunities to contribute to economic inquiry and public policymaking over the years.”
