Associate Professor of Economics Ken Schoolland gave a number of talks this summer. At the Mont Pelerin Society meeting in Seoul, South Korea, he discussed a new measure of macroeconomic activity called Gross Output. For the third consecutive year in Khovd, Mongolia, he gave a series of lectures on economic prosperity for the Silk Road Foundation.

Schoolland addressed problems of economics for the UNIRULE Institute and the IAPP-CIPA at Renmin University in Beijing, China. At the eighth annual Seminar Lecture Series for International Scholars of Economics and Management at Northeastern University, Shenyang, China, Schoolland offered a dozen lectures to 120 students from Asia, Australia, and Europe. He arranged for an HPU student from Germany, Denis Mannschatz, to participate.

Schoolland gave a talk on creative ways to teach economics at a conference in Las Vegas. In August, he addressed the economic impact of the Jones Act on shipping costs at an international conference in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. Schoolland arranged a scholarship for HPU student Charlene Cuizon to attend.
