Overview

The Economics, B.Sc. Department faculty members of University of Richmond work on a wide range of empirical and theoretical issues utilizing state-of-the-art techniques. A major focus of several Economics faculty members is on research that contributes to the frontier of knowledge about how students learn economics most efficiently.

In addition, faculty members make contributions to the macroeconomic literature on the impact of uncertainty on the economy, understanding resource allocation, how data revisions affect forecasts and monetary policy, and the determinants of capital flows and trade flow between countries.

On the microeconomics side, Economics faculty members work on issues including economics and ethics, policy issues in higher education, and the role of the environment in the economy.

Other economists in the department test economic theory using laboratory experiments, examine monopoly power in agriculture and explore the use of exchange-traded funds in financial portfolios. The diversity of topics illustrates the wide-ranging interests of department members.
