He has also taught at MIT\, Stanford\, Oxford\, Michigan and other universities around the world. Dr. Varian is a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation\, the Econometric Society\, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was Co-Editor of the American Economic Review from 1987-1990 and holds honorary doctorates from the University of Oulu\, Finland and the University of Karlsruhe\, Germany. Professor Varian has published numerous papers in economic theory\, industrial organization\, financial economics\, econometrics and information economics.
