Dear Colleagues, 

Louis Putterman (Brown University) has made several path-breaking contributions to our field studying several important topics including cooperation, trust, institutions and institution formation, in addition to methodological contributions that advance the design of experiments. 

Louis has also made pioneering contributions to long-run economic growth and development studying economic history, the role of institutions, state formation and path dependence of development. 

You can find more information on his vast body of work at https://www.louisputterman.com/ and
