Teaching Statement 

I adopt a hands on approach to teaching by incorporating aspects of the “flipped classroom approach” where students do reading before class and perform acttivites including discussions, debates and problem solving in class.  I also upate my self with feedback from students by trying to find out what they have actually learned and adjusting to their needs.  

Research Statement

My research focuses on the process of economic development of Sub-Saharan African countries.  Specific examples include economic growth, inflation, corruption, economic institutions, market competition (anti-trust policy), economics of higher education, foreign aid, the economics oil and of the cocoa sector
