By far, the most rewarding aspect of my professional career is having the opportunity to continue learning about economics with the help of brilliant students. I have served as a Ph.D. dissertation chair or co-chair to the students listed above. I am extremely proud of them all. I have also served on dissertation committees for and learned from a number of other students, including Ricardo Da Costa E Silva (Central Bank of Brazil), Ivan Jeliazkov (University of California, Irvine), and Mariana Spatareanu (Rutgers University-Newark).
