The Institutionalist Approach to Public Utility Regulation explains and assesses the intellectual and institutional infrastructure that has come to be recognized as Harry Trebing’s contribution to regulatory economics, policy, and history. This infrastructure not only incorporates principles, history of ideas, and applicable theories but also includes an entourage of scholars who have been associated with Trebing in research and policy endeavors. In addition to providing scholarly work and policy involvement, Trebing, in partnership with his wife, Joyce, has provided organizational leadership.

Graduate students are employed extensively in the teaching of economics at the undergraduate level, but little is known about how they are used for instruction and how they are prepared for their teaching duties.

The survey was designed to elicit information on (i) the size of Ph.D. economics programs and the uses of graduate students for undergraduate instruction, (ii) the provision of credit and noncredit courses in teaching for economics graduate student instructors, (iii) teaching programs for international graduate students …
