David Richard Henderson (born November 21, 1950) is a Canadian-born American economist and author who moved to the United States in 1972 and became a U.S. citizen in 1986, serving on President Ronald Reagan's Council of Economic Advisers from 1982 to 1984.[1] A research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution[2] since 1990, he took a teaching position with the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California in 1984, and is now an emeritus professor of economics.[3]
Education
Henderson earned his B.Sc (1970) from the University of Winnipeg, followed by his M.A. and Ph.D.(1976) in Economics from UCLA.[2] Henderson's areas of scholarly interest include microeconomics, cost–benefit analysis, health economics, energy economics, and the economics of taxation.[3]
Career
A friend of economist Milton Friedman since they first met at the University of Chicago in 1970, Henderson took his advice to "make politics an avocation, not a vocation," pursuing a career course that led to earning a Ph.D. in economics.[4] Henderson first taught at the University of Rochester, Graduate School of Management, from 1975 to 1979. Next, he took a position at San Francisco-based Cato Institute from 1979-1980, and then a short stint at Santa Clara University from 1980 to 1981.[3] In 1982, Henderson joined President Reagan's administration as a senior economist with the Council of Economic Advisers, serving as senior economist for health policy from 1982 to 1984 and then senior economist for energy policy from 1983 to 1984.[5] Henderson writes about socioeconomic issues at the blog EconLog, along with Bryan Caplan, which The Wall Street Journal designated as one of the top 25 economics blogs in 2009.[6]
