Greetings! I am Professor of Economics and affiliated with the Offord Centre for Child Studies. My recent undergraduate teaching includes Introductory Economics, Labour Economics, Methods of Inquiry in Economics and the Economics of the Family. My recent graduate teaching includes Labour Economics and Health Economics. My research interests are in health economics, labour economics and the economics of the family.

PLEASE NOTE
Most of my files are pdf files. This means that you will have to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to read and print the files. All personal computers on the McMaster campus are equipped with the Acrobat Reader. If you are off-campus and do not have the Acrobat Reader, I strongly recommend that you download a free version by clicking on the button below. This will allow you to read and print not only my files but those from other, much more important sites, for example, government forms and reports (Revenue Canada tax forms, Statistics Canada publications, and many others)
The Acrobat Reader will ask you to either open the file or save it to disk. "Opening" the file permits you to read and print it. "Saving to disk" permits you to download the file to your computer.
