      I taught Principles of Economics, Labor Economics, Public Finance and Econometrics and continue to teach Labor Economics as a part-time instructor. I also still keep an active research agenda. I recently published a paper with Goran Skosples and Liz Known looking at employment changes during Covid across metropolitan areas and another with Julide Yazar looking at a game theoretic model of the control of undocumented immigrants. I was part of a team that has a paper under consideration at a journal on the impact of solar farms on the selling price of nearby homes as well as work with Seth Gitter tracing the paths of Economics PhDs teaching at national liberal arts colleges and regional universities.
