My research areas are the '''financing of entrepreneurship''' and the '''economics of innovation'''. My work consists primarily in the application of industrial organization economics and corporate finance to entrepreneurship and business strategy. I seek to base my work on clearly specified underlying theory. I believe that it contains useful theoretical innovation, although the primary value added is usually empirical -- I generally focus on the use of micro-data in large scale empirical analysis.
I have received three awards for my research to date, including a Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Dissertation Fellowship, a Canadian Graduate Scholarship, and a Social Science & Humanities Research Council of Canada Doctoral Fellowship. A complete list of my research papers that have either been published or an in the process of submission to peer-reviewed journals is available on my [[Papers]] page. A summary of my job market paper and research interests is available on my [[Research Statement]] page.
==My Teaching==
I would be comfortable teaching a wide range of possible courses at the undergraduate or graduate levels and am willing to be very flexible. I would, in particular, be very happy to teach courses in entrepreneurship, innovation, managerial economics, business strategy, corporate finance, or related areas. I have taught three courses before: COMM394 - Government and Business (at Sauder), for which I received a nomination for the ''Commerce Undergraduate Society Teaching Excellence Award''; MBA201 -- Economic Analysis for Business Decisions (at Haas), for which I won the ''Earl F. Cheit Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor Award (Full Time MBA Program)''; and COMM437 -- Database Technology (at Sauder), for which I was rated highly for a first time instructor. Further details of my teaching, as well as downloadable copies of my teaching scores, are available from [[Teaching Statement]] page.
