The Joe Tiao Lecture Series, initiated in 2006, enables the KSU Economics Department to bring two internationally acclaimed economists to campus each year. Each Tiao Lecturer presents two lectures at K-State: a public lecture on an economics issue of current interest and a more technical seminar in the economics department.
