Below is a list of courses I have taught with brief descriptions as well as a sample syllabus and course schedule, where applicable. These syllabi may be several semesters old, so if you would like more recent versions, please contact me using the Contact Me page.
This course is an undergraduate-level introduction to econometrics, the social science in which the tools of economy theory, mathematics, and statistical inference are applied to the analysis of economic phenomena. We will study and apply regression analysis
to various data sets in order to familiarize students with the core concepts of estimation of economic parameters, prediction of economic outcomes, and statistical inference.

Economic theories typically taught in principles courses arose from a long, contentious process of debate. This course provides an introduction to the development of modern economic thought and discusses the origins and history of capitalist institutions.
Special focus is placed on critiques of these institutions, including contemporary issues of alienation, loss of community identity, and shifting values. The course begins with a survey of pre-capitalist economic thought and then
will cover the evolution of modern economic thought from the mid-18th Century to the present.

This course takes the simple models of introductory macroeconomics and adds to them, making them more like the real world. We will use these modified models to explain the determination of aggregate output, prices and growth as well as how fiscal and
monetary policy can impact these variables. Many references will be made to the Global Financial Crisis, although these references will primarily come within the context of the other concepts we will learn.

This course is designed as an introductory survey of economy-wide issues such as inflation, unemployment, national output, employment, and government economic policy. The basic aggregate demand/supply model will be introduced and used to model historical
events. Monetary and fiscal policies will be surveyed, including a discussion of their benefits and shortcomings. Alternative economic theories will also be included throughout the course. Special focus in this course is given
to developing quantitative literacy--the ability to interpret data and statistics in a meaningful way.

Principles of Microeconomics is an introduction to decision-making for individuals, firms, and government. The goal is to analyze how each of these economic agents interact with one another to determine the allocation of scarce resources--typically through
markets. This course is designed to study these interactions and decisions in a world characterized by scarcity. Such scarcity provides us with many challenges that force us to consider the effects of decisions made. The models
from this course can facilitate a greater understanding of how these choices are made and provide tools to analyze and predict the outcome of interactions. Special focus is placed on how these models and theories apply to the student's
life.

This course is intended for students who have completed the principle and intermediate courses in economics. Regional economics is an applied field, bringing together insights from both micro and macroeconomics. The focus of this course will be on how
geographic space can impact economic activity—essentially introducing space and location into previously learned basic models. To close the semester, we will use a simplified version of an input-output model to assess how certain
policies may impact a regional economy.
