Research Interests

My current research interests include studying the impact of demographic changes on unemployment. Two recent papers focusing on the development of an age adjusted unemployment rate which takes into account changes in the age structure of the labor force on measured unemployment rates were very well received. These papers were cited in Business Week, the Congressional Record and reprinted in several editions of an annual reader in macroeconomics. The most recent version of this series appeared in the March 2006 issue of Challenge : the Magazine of Economic Affairs.

I recently co-authored a satirical piece on the hiring process in econmics which will appear in the Spring 2008 issue of the Review of Radical Political Economics. 

An article dealing with forgiveness and economics has been accepted by the Review of Political Economy
