Welcome.
I am an assistant professor of economics at the United States Naval Academy. I'm interested in some of the big questions of economics - long run growth and development, determinants of the wealth of nations, the relationship between military and economic power... Stuff like that.
If instead you were searching for this dude or this dude, sorry. I am neither one.
