Welcome to My Web Site!

I joined the Department of Economics at the Appalachian State University in 2013. My research interests are in applied international macroeconomics and finance, real-time data analysis, macroeconomic forecasting, and exchange rate economics. Prior to joining ASU, I worked at the Department of Economics at Emory University. I teach Principles of Macroeconomics, Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory, Open-Economy Macroeconomics, and Forecasting and Time Series. Please, visit my Research page, if you share my research interests or would like to learn more about my current projects.
