PIIE mourns the loss of Gary Clyde Hufbauer, a pillar of the Peterson Institute for International Economics & a beloved colleague & friend to many.
As one of the Institute's cornerstone senior fellows, he helped C. Fred Bergsten make PIIE what it became from its earliest days & embodied so much of the spirit of the Institute—intellectual engagement, passion to understand & improve the policy world, independence, collegiality, & a deep commitment to bringing economic research to bear on the world's most pressing policy challenges.
His passing is an enormous loss to our community & to the field of international economics. Gary leaves behind a monumental legacy, not only in his scholarship & influence on economic policy, but also in our institution which he helped build & the many lives he touched.
May his memory be a blessing for his family. He certainly was a blessing to all of us at PIIE.
