Wharton: A Magnet for Research
What is it that draws faculty members like Sigal Barsade from Yale or Brigitte Madrian from Chicago to Wharton? It is the opportunity to work with some of the top researchers in the world that brings and keeps them here.
With a larger faculty than any other business school and 11 academic departments and 19 research centers and initiatives, Wharton is a research hub that simply offers more interdisciplinary opportunities than anywhere else.
"The research environment here is key. Across the School, there are symposia and workshops too numerous to keep track of," says Insurance Professor Olivia Mitchell, who came to Wharton from Cornell in 1993.
Mitchell, who is the director of the Boettner Center for Pensions and Retirement Research and of the Pension Research Council, also cites the broader group at the University, which for her includes the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, Penn's Institute on Aging, and the Population Studies Center.
And beyond the borders of West Philadelphia, there is Wharton West in San Francisco and the Alliance with INSEAD in Paris and Singapore. Additional initiatives are also underway with Singapore Management University and the Indian School of Business.
The following are the new faculty who are teaching at Wharton this fall:
