Teaching

I currently teach the following courses at UVA

• Econ 8991: Research Methods in Economics. This is a required course for 3rd year PhD students in economics, informally the "writing" course. Basically we take students' 2nd year papers and help convert them into their dissertation proposals. I teach the microeconomics students, a colleague teaches the macroeconomics version.
• Forum 1500/2500: Corruption, Governance, and Institutions. (co-taught with Daniel Gingerich, Politics). The forums curriculum helps students coming into UVA with particular interests to do a deep dive into these interests by structuring all their classes in the first 2 years around these topics. Our course complement work in the UVA-CLEAR lab by exposing students to work at the intersection of politics and economics on the topics of corruption and governance.

In Spring 2022 I will start teaching Econ 4620: Seminar on Development Economics.

In previous years, I have taught

• [UVA] Econ 4610: Economic Development
• [Dartmouth] Econ 24: Development Economics
• [Harvard] Econ 970: Frontiers of Research in the Microeconomics of Development
