Journal of Money, Credit and Banking. It is the nature of his research and the impact
is had made in the discipline that one nominator cites as truly remarkableOne of his
areas of focus is macroeconomic dynamics and growth. Dr. Smith’s paper “Taxes, Uncertainty
and Long-term Growth” was the first to explore the consequences of the GIE utility
for macroeconomics and growth. Because of his work, the use of this utility model
has now become standard in this area of literature. While this work is widely cited,
it is its position as a seminal piece that is truly remarkable.”
