Education:
The University of Iowa, Ph.D. Economics, 1997
Carnegie-Mellon University, B.S. in Economics, 1989.
Teaching Interest:
My teaching interests primarily economics in nature. I enjoy teaching economics courses such as Managerial Economics and Principles of Micro- and Macro-economics as well as courses that cover current topics in economics.
Research Interest:
My research interests are within the field of experimental economics. More specifically I am interested in learning what makes financial markets work and breakdown.
Publications:
“An experimental comparison of two search models” (with Martin Sefton and Abdullah Yavas),
Economic Theory 16:3, 2000. Reprinted in Advances in Experimental Markets, Ed. by T. Cason and C. Noussair, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2001.
Teaching Philosophy:
My approach to teaching economics is both discussion-based and rigorous. I feel that these two descriptions make the courses I teach more enjoyable to the students than just a consistent lecturing while at the same time providing an excellent learning opportunity.
