Welcome

I am a Senior Lecturer in the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University and a researcher interested in international trade. I received my PhD and M.S. in Economics from Purdue University and my B.S. in Finance from University of the West, Timișoara, Romania.

My research focuses on empirical investigations on product differentiation, variety gains from trade, patterns of specialization and the nature, size, and effects of trade barriers. I am teaching undergraduate and graduate classes in Data Analysis and Econometrics, International Economics, and Microeconomics.

Research Interests: International Trade, Applied Econometrics
