Following last month’s record high of 110, the Uncertainty Index declined 12 points in November to 98.”

He is also the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including those from the National Science Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Smith- Richardson Foundation, and the John M.
