Econometrician Whitney Newey is a strong member of the Church and is at the top-ranked economics school, MIT.
Lant Pritchett, an LDS development economist is at Harvard (right now he is at the Kennedy School directing their MPAID program).
There is a less-active Nobel Prize winner Lars Hansen at Chicago. He is still supportive of the Church and BYU.
Also, both Kim Clark's and Clayton Christensen's PhDs are in economics.
