Teaching

A course to introduce students to the perspectives and methods used in the economics of education. Topics include education inequality, the role of schools, teachers, and policies in raising student achievement, education finance, and increasing access to higher education. Students learned to distinguish between causal evidence and anecdotal/correlational evidence, to be consumers of education research, and to recommend education policies by analyzing available research. 

Textbook/Course Material:  Students were provided a list of seminal papers in the economics of education literature (available upon request) and were recommended to use Mastering ‘Metrics: The Path from Cause to Effect by Joshua Angrist and Jorn-Steffen Pischke.

Held office hours, ran review sessions and graded two sections of the course. Topics included demand and supply, market structures, GDP, the business cycle, and monetary and fiscal policy.

Met with professor and graded two sections of the course. Course covered topics in intermediate macroeconomics.
