The Department of Economics has more than twenty five full-time faculty members, all of whom hold Ph.D.s in Economics. We are productive researchers in the areas of economic theory, econometrics, macroeconomics, applied microeconomics. We are well represented in the areas of development economics, econometrics, human resource economics, and economic history. We teach almost 40% of the courses in the Master of Public Policy Program. Some of us also teach in the Business School, the Law School, or the School of Marine Science.
In addition, the faculty also includes a number of adjunct and visiting instructors who help expand our course offerings to students.
