About the Author

I am an economist by nature and trade. I earned my Ph.D. at Cornell University and taught undergrads and master's students microeconomics, economic policy and statistics for close to ten years. I am a founding member of the Program on Freedom and Free Societies at Cornell University.

My blog on politics, economics, security and strategy is now hosted on Blogger.com.

The opinions and analysis I state on this web site, and anywhere else, are my own. I do not speak for any current or former employers.
