Stanley G. Harris Professor in the Social Sciences
Northwestern University
Robert J. Gordon is Stanley G. Harris Professor in the Social Sciences
and Professor of Economics at Northwestern University. He is
one of the nation's leading experts on inflation, unemployment, and
productivity growth. His recent work on the rise and fall of
the New Economy, and its role in the U.S. productivity growth revival,
has been widely cited.
Gordon is author of Macroeconomics, ninth edition, which
has been translated into eight languages, and of The Measurement
of Durable Goods Prices , which has become known as the definitive
work showing that government price indexes substantially overstate the
rate of inflation.
In addition to his main field of macroeconomics, he is also a frequently
quoted expert on the airline industry and has written numerous articles
on airline management, efficiency, and productivity.
Gordon did his undergraduate work at Harvard and then attended Oxford
University on a Marshall Scholarship. He received his Ph.D. in
1967 at M.I.T. and taught at Harvard and the University of Chicago before
coming to Northwestern in 1973.
