He served on the College Board task force to develop the AP Economics curriculum and was later on the exam development committee. He also authored the first edition of CEE’s?AP Economics, now in its fifth edition. In recognition of his significant contributions, CEE honors his legacy through the John Morton Excellence in the Teaching of Economics Awards.
