Cornell economist Sharon Tennyson, an expert on consumer
protections and financial regulation, took over as editor of the Journal
of Consumer Affairs June 1. The peer-reviewed journal, founded in 1967
by the American Council on Consumer Interests, features research and
analysis on the social, legal, economic, and political influences on
consumer interests. "We live in an era of heightened awareness and
concern about consumer issues, making this an especially exciting time
to take over as editor," said Tennyson, associate professor of
policy analysis and management. Tennyson's teaching and research
focuses on the impact of government laws and regulation on consumers and
financial institutions, particularly the workings of insurance markets. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
