"I want to find out if there is any way more people can enjoy a better quality of life." (University of Chicago Chronicle)

 
The current vice president of the American Economic Association, she is also co-editor of Econometrica, associate editor of the Journal of Economic Growth and has served as associate editor of Games and Economic Behavior and of the Journal of Economic Theory. An expert on economic theory and economic development, Stokey examines the impact education and job training have on the development of national economies. She has shown that economies continue to expand when workforces adapt more complex skills, moving, for instance, from manufacturing into high technology. She is the author of numerous papers on economic growth and related issues and is co-author of the book Recursive Methods in Economic Dynamics (1989), a book about the research methods economists use in their work.
