Martin Feldstein

Abstract

Martin Feldstein was a remarkable economic scholar, an extraordinary teacher, a fabulous economic and academic administrator, and a dedicated public servant who had a tremendous impact. He played an enormous role in advancing empirical research in economics and was a mentor to generations of undergraduates and graduate students. Beyond his research and teaching, Feldstein was a transformative figure within economics, through his three decade leadership of the National Bureau of Economic Research. He is going to be very deeply missed.
