I have witnessed the contribution Paul has made to Economics Research at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). He has been a magnet,  attracting a team of researchers, students and prestigious visitors to our School of Economics & Finance. Our School has achieved much. When  Paul first joined QUT three years ago, the profile of Economics  Reserach at QUT was very low on the horizon. Today we are proud of our  achievements and the standard of our research team continues to rise  towards a zenith that has been driven by Paul’s vision. In the image   of himself, Paul has attracted research professors and their students;  we are proud to see QUT ranked among the better Economics  Schools in Australia. When the Australian Economic Society recognised  Professor Frijters as the Best Young Australian Economist, they were  just formalising what we his students already knew, Paul is not only  the best of Economists, he is the glue that holds together Economics  Research at QUT.

Loftuitingen staan hier.

I studied a masters degree in economics at QUT recently and found Paul approachable and exceptionally knowledgable.  And as you mention, his tough questions as an audience member will keep any presenter on their toes.
