| He joined the faculty after earning his doctorate in economics from Northwestern University in 2000. His primary research interests are industrial organization and applied econometrics, with special attention paid to theatrical distribution in the motion picture industry. His research on movies has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Industrial Economics (qualitative learning-by-doing with synchronous sound technology), the Journal of Economics and Management Strategy (word of mouth), and the International Journal of Industrial Organization (movie studio conduct). His edited volume A Concise Handbook of Movie Industry Economics surveys research across the various sectors of Hollywood. Other areas of ongoing research include endogenous market structure (impact of different taxes on retail gasoline capacity, relationship between prices and market structure) and detecting collusion by post-war Soviets in international chess tournaments. His undergraduate classes include introduction to microeconomics and industrial organization, and he also teaches a graduate class that focuses upon empirical applications in industrial organization. | |
