Classes Taught

• AEB 4141-Agribusiness Financial Management. This course requires the student to solve financial and other management problems faced by agricultural firms and agribusinesses. The course is intended as a capstone for which students are required to integrate material from their entire program into the financial decision-making process.
  
• AEB 4511-Quantitative Analysis in Food and Resource Economics. The purpose of this course is to further develop the student's mathematical skills emphasizing those techniques utilized in economics.
  
• AEB 6145-Agricultural Finance. Principles of firm financial management, financial markets, financial institutions, capital markets, firm growth, and analysis. The course emphasizes financial markets and application of financial principles. Taught with P.J. van Blokland.
  
• AEB 6182-Agricultural Risk Analysis and Decision Making. This course is a review of the conceptual framework and research methods for the analysis of decision making under risk by agricultural producers. The course covers expected utility theory, risk programming, stochastic dominance, and dynamic decision models.
  
• AEB 6184-Production Economics. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the standard theoretical and empirical models used in the investigation of firm level production decisions.
  
• AEB 6533-Static and Dynamic Optimization. This course, which focuses on optimization theory and methods, is one of the core requirements in the department's Ph.D. program. The applied basis of numerical optimization, including the development of classical optimization theory, is reviewed during the first half of the course, and the dynamic principal of optimality is covered in the second half.
  
• AEB 6592-Mathematical Programming in Agricultural Economics. This course is intended to introduce the student to optimization techniques and modeling in agricultural economics. Completion of the course should enable the student to solve numerical optimization problems with and without computer support. Further, the student will be introduced to how these optimization models have been used in agricultural economics.
  
• AEB 6933-Quantitative Analysis in Food and Resource Economics. This course is a review of mathematical techniques that are typically applied in economics, such as multivariate calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and real analysis.
  
• AEB 6933-Statistics for Food and Resource Economics. This course develops statistical foundations that will be used in microeconomic theory, econometrics, production economics, and financial economics. The development focuses primarily on the mathematical formulation of statistics.
  
• AEB 6933-Dynamic Agricultural Economics. This course provided the students an overview of dynamic techniques in agricultural economics including simulation, optimal control, and dynamic programming. I collaborated on this course with William Boggess and Thomas Spreen. My portion of the course involved Optimal Control.
  
• AEB 6933-Applied Econometrics Seminar. This course, related to current departmental work on advanced econometrics with Henri Theil, was a special topics course offered to students. The seminar focused on the use of informational estimators, parameterization problems arising from the application of maximum likelihood assuming normality in small samples, and income inequality.
  
• FIN 6446 - Financial Theory I. This is the first course in the Ph.D. financial theory section offered in the Business School. The purpose of this course is to acquaint the student with basic principles of finance theory emphasizing the theory of the firm's investment and financing decisions. To accomplish this goal, this course will focus on basic concepts of decision making under risk, market efficiency, asset pricing, capital structure and dividend policy.
