I typically teach two Ph.D. courses and two undergraduate courses each year. In the Ph.D., I've recently been
teaching a course in the core Macroeconomics sequence, and I teach field courses in Advanced Macroeconomics,
Monetary Economics, Time Series Econometrics, and, more occasionally, International Macroeconomics.
In Advanced Macro, I have lately focused on topics that can be labeled as 'Behavioral Macroeconomics'.
At the undergraduate level, I regularly teach a writing course on Financial Markets and the Macroeconomy and a research course for honors students titled Economics Honors Colloquium; I've also taught Intermediate Macroeconomics, Money & Banking, Global Economy, Econometrics, Micro Theory for Quantitative Econ students, and freshman seminars on economic inequality and social mobility, and on learning economics through sports.
I'm now serving as Director of Graduate Studies for the Economics Ph.D. Program. Before, I was Director of the Undergraduate Honors Program in Economics.
