My research is primarily in the fields of economic growth, development, and international trade. There are more details in the "current research" link.
In fall 2011, I'll teach in the first-year Ph.D. macro sequence (ECO 602) and a macro Ph.D. field class (ECO 762). In spring 2011, I taught intermediate macro (ECO 402) and an undergraduate topics course on the economics of Africa (ECO 410). In spring 2012, I'll be on sabbatical in Belgium. I've received a Fulbright-Schuman award to do research on poor regions of the European Union at CORE (Center for Operations Research and Econometrics) at the Université Catholique de Louvain. I have two Ph.D. students on the job market this year (completing their dissertations by summer 2012): Biniv Maskay and Brandon Sheridan - I highly recommend both of them! In fall 2010, I co-organized the Southern Growth Conference at the SEA meetings with Areendam Chanda (LSU). We also did this in 2008, and might do it again in 2012 - let me know if you'd be interested.
