About

Prof. Brown joined Georgia Southern University in 1994 and retired in 2019.
 
— Biography from the 2021 Spring Commencement program —
 
Dr. Brown's educational experiences include a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Akron, a Master of Arcs from the same university, and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University. His teaching experiences include five years as assistant professor in the Department of Economics at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and twenty-five years at Georgia Southern University. During his tenure, Dr. Brown has made contributions to the fields of industrial organization and transportation economics. His publications include five book chapters; five book reviews, and numerous other publications and conference presentations. Additionally, he has contributed distinguished service to the department and University. He is probably the one person most responsible for the creation of the online Master of Science (MS) degree with a major in Applied Economics. When the program was initially approved, it was a faceto- face program. It quickly became apparent that there was insufficient student demand to start and maintain such a program. Dr. Brown was instrumental in convincing the department to offer the MS with a major in Applied Economics as an online program. Had the department not accepted his proposal, there would not be an MS with a major in Applied Economics program today. His other distinguished services to the department include his rewriting of the entire economics curriculum due to conversion from quarter to semester system. Dr. Brown is also the founding coordinator of the Department of Economics' research seminar series. His other service activities are numerous and include serving as a member of Faculty Senate, a member of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, chair of the ad hoc committee to revise the faculty grievance procedures, chair of the economics faculty curriculum committee, member of the College Graduate Committee, member of the University Service Committee, and Acting Director of the School of Economic Development. For these and ocher contributions, Dr. John Howard Brown merits the tide of Associate Professor Emeritus of Economics.*
