In celebration of the written word of Rudi Dornbusch, MIT’s Dewey Library for Management and Social Sciences (E53-100) will host an exhibition of selected writings from October 1 through October 18. Dornbusch, the Ford Professor of International Economics at MIT, authored or edited more than 20 books, wrote more than 150 essays published in collective works, authored or co-authored more than 120 journal articles, and served as an advisor on more than 125 doctoral dissertations. One article, "Expectations and Exchange-Rate Dynamics" published in 1976 in the Journal of Political Economy, is among the most cited economic contributions of the last half-century having been cited in more than 930 other scholarly works--just one example of how Dornbusch’s published writings played a critical role in defining the modern field of international economics.

A memorial service for Professor Dornbusch will be held Sunday, October 6 at 2:30 p.m. in the Wong Auditorium in MIT's Tang Center (E51, corner of Wadsworth and Amherst streets).
