Jane Knodell; Co-Chair

Jane Knodell is Interim Provost at the University of Vermont, where she teaches and conducts research on financial institutions and serves as Chair of the Department of Economics. She also has hands-on expertise, through board work and policy monographs, in the roles of community reinvestment laws and community development financial institutions in fostering broad-based economic development.

I conduct research and teach in the fields of money and banking, macroeconomics, and economic history.  In my research, I apply the tools of economic history, institutional analysis, and monetary economics to understanding the evolution and performance of monetary institutions over time.

My current research explores the effect of federal and state banking policies on the rise and incidence of unincorporated banking in the nineteenth-century U.S.  I also have a cross-country comparative research project on the effects of public banks on the development of national commercial banking systems in early capitalist Anglo-American economies.

In my current administrative role, I am assisting the Provost with the management of academic budgets and academic facilities.
