I am an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Wilfrid Laurier University, and also at the Balsillie School of International Affairs.
My research focuses on institutional development at the international, national or local scales. Recent areas of focus have been the role of ethnic diversity in the provision of public goods, and the interaction between legal institutions and social structures.
I teach courses within the Economics department at WLU, and in the graduate programs at the Balsillie School of International Affairs. When I see articles or books (academic or not, recent or older) that might be interesting to students in one or more of my courses, I will try to link them in the Posts section of the website.
