There is a symbiotic relationship between the economics programs at Auburn and von Mises Institute. In terms of ideology, however, the faculty in economics covers the full spectrum of political economy. Alabama and the region have a lot to offer, especially in terms of outdoor activities and a temperate climate. Spring and fall are long pleasant seasons. Winters are mild.
Summer is hot and humid but the air is clean and electricity for air conditioning is cheap.
The Auburn city schools are excellent and Auburn is a good place for children. The City of Auburn has excellent facilities and services, including sports recreation, a library, a municipal art museum, good fire and police departments, and complete city services. Auburn is a good place to live. This is a partial list of Auburn economics Ph.D. graduates with email links and their present positions. During the past 15 years, Auburn has graduated over 60 economists now working all over the world in business, government, and education.
