It is with great sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Paul Klein on Monday, August 19th. Paul was a faculty member in the department of Economics from 2000-2010 and a frequent guest speaker in the following years.
Paul was a brilliant economist who had a unique way of thinking about problems. Paul loved Canada, and Western even more, always championing the department and our graduate program. We will miss his dry wit and self-deprecating sense of humour.
