Economics Chair public lecture
Elzinga is the Robert C. Taylor Professor of Economics at the University of Virginia. He has received numerous teaching awards, and each fall his introductory economics course attracts over one thousand students, making it the largest class offered at the University of Virginia.
An expert in antitrust economics, he has testified in several precedent-setting antitrust cases, including three Supreme Court decisions.
The author of more than 70 academic publications, Dr. Elzinga also is known for his mystery novels, co-authored with William Breit (under the pen name Marshall Jevons), in which the protagonist employs economic analysis to solve crimes.
Dr. Elzinga has a B.A. and honorary doctorate from Kalamazoo College and a Ph.D. from Michigan State University. He has been a member of the faculty at the University of Virginia since 1967.
The 'Iolani School Economics Chair is supported through donations and supports a visiting teacher each year. By enhancing its core curriculum with guest lecturers who share broad perspectives, 'Iolani hopes to provide real world experiences to its students and the community.

Dr. Elzinga's co-author Dr. Breit was a big influence on me when I was at Trinity University in San Antonio (my advisor said I had "a Minor in Dr. Breit"), and I had a chance to meet Dr. Elzinga briefly when he spoke at Trinity 'round about 1987. I recommend the Henry Spearman novels highly, and I'm very happy to see Dr. Elzinga and the 'Iolani community having a chance to spend time together.
