Teaching Interests
Teaching students to use data to solve real-problems rather than simply learn hypothetical models.
Research/Creative Works
My research focuses on helping people understand how economics is useful in explaining real-world issues. Currently working on a paper that shows how pricing affects incentives and the disposal of solid waste and a paper on Trump’s refugee policy as it relates to Type I and II errors.
