Marjorie McElroy
Professor Marjorie McElroy joined the Duke Economics faculty in 1970 after receiving her Ph.D.
from Northwestern University, and spending a year at Bell Laboratories. She has been a visiting
professor at the Universities of Chicago, Illinois, and Virginia. The National Science Foundation has
supported her research in the areas of financial economics, demand systems and production, and
the economics of the family. She has served on the National Science Foundation Panel in Economics, The
American Economic Association's Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics
Profession; she currently serves on the Board of Directors of the National Bureau of Economic
Research. In addition to directing both the Labor Workshop and the Labor Lunch, she teaches a
graduate level course in labor economics. Since June 1995, she has served as
the Chair of the Department of Economics and will continue in that role through
August 1999. Her current research concentrates on labor economics and the
economics of the family, with special attention to the interplay of bargained
family decisions and marriage markets. Related research on China attempts to
disentangle the effects of government policies from those of economic development.
