About Joel Popkin
Dr. Joel Popkin, President
jpopkin@jpcecon.comDr. Popkin received his BS degree from the Wharton School of Finance of the University of Pennsylvania and his Ph.D. in economics from the same university. He is a fellow of the National Association of Business Economists and the American Statistical Association and past Chairman of the Conference of Business Economists. He has been Chairman of the Board of the National Economists Club, a member of the Committee of Visitors to the economics department of the University of Pennsylvania, and a member of the boards of the American Statistical Association, the National Bureau of Economic Research, and the Economic Strategy Institute.
His expertise is confirmed by the frequency with which his views are sought in
public arenas. Dr. Popkin testifies often before Congress
and writes for and is interviewed by various media. On these occasions the
focus, as would be expected, is on issues related to wages, costs, and
prices. But in recent years his research interest has broadened to include
longer-run issues, particularly productivity, technology and R+D, and their
role in the creation and distribution of income and wealth. Some of this
research has been published by the client or academic journals.
