Research interests
I am interested in various aspects of economics from monetary policy and inflation, to labour markets, and the economics of crime. I have also done some work on fisheries economics.
Biography
I did my BA and MA in economics at McMaster University. After completing my Master’s degree in 1996, I moved to Vancouver and began my PhD at the University of British Columbia. My research there examined the impact of learning on optimal monetary policy. I received my PhD in 2002 and accepted a job at Iowa State University. In 2007 moved back to Canada and accepted my current position as a faculty member in economics at the University of Waterloo. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on macroeconomics and monetary economics.
