Teaching

• • I have written an undergraduate textbook The Economics of Immigration, joint with Cynthia Bansak and Madeline Zavodny; the second edition was published in 2020 by Routledge.  We are also blogging on the economics of immigration to provide real-time supplemental content for the textbook. Updated instructor resources are available on the Routledge Instructor Hub or by reaching out to me. Colgate students are blogging: check it out!

  • Here is a paper that I wrote on what to teach in Intermediate Macroeconomics in light of the Great Recession (it was  published in the Journal of Economic Education). 

  • Here is a paper that I wrote on using community-based learning in a course on the Economics of Poverty.
