[Ucrfacultyandstaff] Passing of Dr. Richard Arnott

[Provost]

Dear Colleagues,

I am deeply saddened to inform the campus community of the recent death of Richard Arnott, a distinguished professor in the UC Riverside Department of Economics.

A member of the UCR faculty since 2007, Dr. Arnott was a multidimensional thinker with diverse interests. Primarily an urban economic theorist, he published prominently in urban, public, and transportation economics as well as in microeconomic theory. Examples of his research topics include the optimal city, traffic congestion, the housing market, moral hazard, public finance, urban transportation, and land use.

One of Dr. Arnott's major contributions to the profession was as a mentor to students and junior colleagues. In his career, he supervised or advised more than 70 Ph.D. dissertations at UCR and other institutions, and many of these students are now tenured professors and have had fruitful research careers. Dr. Arnott was highly respected, on campus and in the profession, not only for his scholarly contributions, but also for the intellectual support and advice that he generously provided to his colleagues.

Dr. Arnott asked not to have a service. Information about a scholarship to be created in his name will be forthcoming on the Department of Economics webpage.

Please keep Dr. Arnott's family, friends, students, and colleagues in CHASS in your thoughts during this time of sorrow.

Sincerely,

Liz
