Dr. Lori Medders serves as the Joseph F. Freeman Distinguished Professor of Insurance and Department Chair for the Department of Finance, Banking and Insurance at Appalachian State University's Walker College. She joined ASU in 2017 after faculty positions at Florida State University (2009-2017), Georgia State University (1998-2008), and Georgia Southern University (1994-1998). Her professional leadership spans academia and industry through roles as Board Member and Education Committee Chair of the American Association of Water Distribution and Management (AAWD&M), Chair of the Risk & Insurance Teaching Society (ARIA), and former Chair of Florida's Hurricane Loss Methodology Commission. Her research spans risk capital access, catastrophe finance, climate change impacts on (re)insurance, economic resilience, and decision psychology under uncertainty. Recent publications (2021-2023) reveal a strategic focus on emerging risk domains: water infrastructure challenges (capacity, quality, affordability), flood insurance regulation, pandemic risk securitization, and gender rating ethics in auto insurance. This work demonstrates her commitment to translating complex risk concepts into practical frameworks for industry and policy applications. With 30 years of risk consulting experience and 80+ industry speaking engagements, Dr. Medders bridges theoretical and applied risk management. She teaches Commercial Insurance, Insurance Operations, Risky Decisions, and Enterprise Risk Management courses while leading the department's strategic direction. Her collaborative initiatives – notably the AAWD&M water risk certification program – exemplify her approach to creating industry-relevant educational pathways that address critical infrastructure vulnerabilities through interdisciplinary risk solutions.

Kurt Mitman is a Professor at CEMFI, an Associate Professor at the Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES) at Stockholm University (currently on leave), a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), and a Research Fellow of the IZA Institute of Labor Economics. He also conducts research at the University of Oslo and serves as a Research Fellow of IZA. Previously, he served as Managing Editor of the Review of Economic Studies from December 2019 to January 2024 and is co-editor of the Journal of the European Economic Association and Macroeconomic Dynamics. PhD in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania (2014) Professor Mitman's research focuses broadly on macroeconomics, with particular interest in monetary and fiscal policy, housing, household debt and default, labor market dynamics, and wealth inequality. His work often employs heterogeneous-agent models to understand how household-level differences affect macroeconomic outcomes and policy responses. He has made significant contributions to understanding the effects of unemployment insurance, bankruptcy policies, and housing market dynamics during economic downturns. His research has identified important patterns regarding how wealth inequality amplifies business cycle fluctuations, how unemployment benefit extensions affect both job search behavior and vacancy creation, and how housing market dynamics interact with household balance sheets during recessions. His recent ERC Consolidator Grant for the HIPSTERMacro project focuses on housing, inequality, and price-setting in the macroeconomy. ERC Consolidator Grant for HIPSTERMacro research proposal Professor Mitman has served as Managing Editor of the Review of Economic Studies and is co-editor of the Journal of the European Economic Association and Macroeconomic Dynamics. His research has been supported by significant grants including the ERC Consolidator Grant. He regularly presents at major universities and conferences worldwide and co-organizes the VMACS (Virtual Macro Seminar) series. Professor Mitman is actively involved in organizing academic conferences including the SITE Session on Macroeconomics and Inequality and the Economic Growth and Fluctuations Group at the Barcelona Summer Forum. His research group focuses on macroeconomic issues with household heterogeneity, particularly examining how inequality affects business cycles and policy effectiveness.
