Professor Juan Carlos Suárez Serrato has been named a 2015 Kauffman Junior Faculty Fellow for his research on the effects of local policies on entrepreneurial activity. He was previously a 2010 Kauffman Dissertation Fellowship Program recipient.

The prize was established in 2008 by the Kauffman Foundation, which aims to “foster a society of economically independent individuals who are engaged citizens in their communities,” specifically in the areas of education and entrepreneurship. 

This year the Kauffman Foundation awarded fellowships in entrepreneurship research to seven tenure-track junior faculty members at accredited U.S. universities. Professor Manuel Adelino, an assistant professor of finance at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, was also selected.
