Teaching Statement
Besides doing research, I also strive to excel in teaching. Teaching is a perfect way to deepen my understanding of fields related to my research interests and to enhance my knowledge of other fields of Economics. I am open to teach various courses at both graduate and undergraduate levels. At the same time, I would be particularly interested in instructing courses in Financial Economics, Economics for Managers, Macroeconomics and Statistics for Decision Making at the graduate level. At the undergraduate level, I would be interested in instructing courses in Monetary Economics, Public Finance, Mathematics for Economists, Managerial Economics, Quantitative Methods and Econometrics.
