Lawrence, who is Williams Professor of International Trade and Investment at KSG, is currently on leave from the University and working in Washington, D.C.
In what he called "an amusing wrinkle," Lawrence's CEA predecessor, Jeffrey A. Frankel, resigned from the CEA in March--the month when Lawrence was nominated to the council--and has just accepted a professorship in international finance at the Kennedy School.
Lawrence said has already begun to work with Yellen and Blank in areas such as international economics, international trade, finance and the environment, including researching issues like how to persuade developing countries to actively counteract greenhouse gases.
Stanfield Professor of International Peace Robert D. Putnam, who appointed Lawrence while he was dean of KSG, said he is proud to have recruited Lawrence, whom he calls "a splendid international economist and local colleague."
Frankel seemed to be equally enthusiastic about returning to an academic environment after taking several years leave from the University of California--Berkeley, where he held an economics professorship and served as director of the Center for International and Development Economics Research.
