Aarhus enjoys a special place in Professor Jeffrey Andrew Smith's heart. The newly appointed honorary doctor of Aarhus University collaborates closely with researchers from the Department of Economics and Business Economics, whom he has also hosted for research stays in the USA at his home university University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Jeffrey Smith is one of the world’s leading researchers in econometrics. Through his research, he has helped shed light on the best ways to evaluate initiatives within social and educational policy. For example, his work has provided insight into how employment initiatives work or do not work and for whom they work – an issue that is high on the international agenda and particularly relevant for Denmark at the current time.
