Boskin was being driven to San Francisco from Oakland on Tuesday when the car was struck from behind by a truck. He suffered a fractured leg, elbow and pelvis, said Sharon Storm, a spokeswoman for the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where Boskin is a senior fellow.
Among other things, he is recognized for his research on world economic growth, taxes and budgets.
