In my research, I do a lot of theoretical work that tries to boil a lot of the macroeconomy down to its essential and important components. And I study a lot of empirical relationships, especially around the effects of government spending, and that sheds light on the fundamental relationships in the macroeconomy.",[],{"type":296,"content":366},[367],{"type":265,"value":368,"marks":369},"So when I go into the classroom, I try to take a lot of insights from both my theoretical and empirical work to inform the model that we teach in the first part of the core Global Economies and Markets course.

To give you one example, previously, if there was something I wanted to look into, I would probably ask for money to buy a data set.

The selling point for Darden is, it’s great to be a teacher here. You get to teach applicable, real-world material and you get to see the students change the way they view the world in real-time. Economics is sometimes taught as memorizing curves and lines, and we do it very differently here. Yes, we have a framework, but we ask them to run the world through the framework and analyze policy choices. We make it relevant to students and their day-to-day lives. When they read the news about the macroeconomy, they’re able to interpret it, understand it and have an opinion about it.
