Professor Fazzari’s research explores two main areas:  the link between macroeconomic activity and finance, particularly the financial determinants of investment spending, and the foundations of Keynesian macroeconomics.  Fazzari’s perspectives on the causes and consequences of the Great Recession, financial instability, deficit reduction, and capital gains taxation has been highlighted in the national and international press.

Fazzari teaches macroeconomics at all undergraduate and Ph.D. levels.  He received teaching awards from the Council of Students of Arts and Sciences, the Inter-Fraternity Council, the Washington University Alumni Class of 1989, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.

Professor Fazzari was particularly honored to receive the a 2003 Missouri Governor's Award for excellence in teaching and a 2007 Distinguished Faculty Award from Washington University.

Fazzari has served in many administrative roles including chair of the Department of Economics (1999-2005), the Academic Planning Committee of Arts and Sciences (2006-2010) and he is now a member of the Arts and Sciences Personnel Advisory Committee.
