About me
I received an Economics Ph.D. from Indiana University in the Fall of 2017. My fields are in Macroeconomics, Finance and Development. I am currently an Assistant Professor at Georgia Gwinnett College. Please feel free to contact me at pavinson@gmail.com.
About my research
My research interests lie primarily in housing, fiscal policy, and education. My recent publications include an analysis of housing taxation and its impact on economic growth, as well as a study on the relationship between public and private inputs in K-12 education. In addition to building on my previous work, I am currently working on analyzing the effect of government spending on GDP and consumption.

Media Engagement
I frequently share my expertise with the media. I've been quoted in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Gwinnett Daily Post, discussing topics such as inflation, job growth, and Federal Reserve policies. I also appeared on Atlanta Now News to talk about the resumption of federal student loan payments.
About my teaching
At Georgia Gwinnett College, I teach a variety of courses including, Econometrics, Intermediate Macroeconomics, and Business Research Methods. My teaching philosophy centers on making complex economic concepts accessible and engaging for all students.
