Brian Jacob wins the Kershaw Prize and Award

I am told that Brian Jacob, my friend, co-author and colleague at Michigan has won the annual Kershaw Award and Prize presented by the Assocation for Public Policy and Management.

Congratulations to Brian, as it is well deserved!

Brian is the third (in a row!) of my co-authors and friends to win the award.

Addendum: a reader on the south side of Chicago notes a different pattern in the data. All of the last three winners have connections to the Irving B. Harris Graduate School of Public Policy Studies at the University of Chicago as two received their doctorates there and one is a current faculty member.
