Teaching Philosophy

"Teaching Economics and Finance to our MBA and undergraduate students is an exciting way to show how ideas and theories have immediate and lasting consequences. I thoroughly enjoy helping students to see how the concepts of economics and finance can be applied to creating value in business, public policy, and their personal lives. The fields are changing rapidly, so there are always new ideas and applications of them."
