On October 20th, 2005 Dr. Edward Prescott, will appear in the Burkett
Miller Distinguished Lecture Series.  Dr. Prescott received this year's
Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences for "contributions to dynamic
macroeconomics, the time consistency of economic policy, and the driving
forces behind business cycles."  His work has altered the course of
macroeconomic thinking over the past three decades. The topic of his
speech will be "How to Make Everyone Better Off" and grows directly out
of the line of research for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize. Dr.
Prescott is currently Senior Monetary Advisor for the Federal Reserve
Bank of Minneapolis, and holds the W.P. Carey Chair in Economics at
Arizona State University.  Previously, he held distinguished teaching
positions at The University of Minnesota and The University of Chicago.

The scientific basis for Dr. Prescott's speech both, in the United
States and abroad, is widely published and his views on the topic are
readily available on the web. The Probasco Chair seeks a faculty
commentator from any discipline preferably with views differing from the
speaker to offer 8 minutes of commentary on the speech. Commentary must
be of broadcast quality and an honorarium will be provided. Interested
faculty should contact J.R. Clark at the Probasco Chair.
