The eighth speaker in Volpe’s “The Future of Transportation: Safety, Opportunity, Innovation” speaker series was Edward Glaeser, the Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University.

His work focuses on the determinants of city growth and the role of cities as places for sharing and spreading ideas, and he has published dozens of papers on cities, economic growth, and law and economics.

Dr. Glaeser regularly teaches microeconomic theory and occasionally urban and public economics, and for a decade has served as director of the Taubman Center for State and Local Government and director of the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston.

This highlight video captures key excerpts from Glaeser’s talk at Volpe on October 26, 2016.
