Hi there 👋

• 💼 I am an economist at the U.S. Copyright Office conducting research on the economic implications of copyright issues.
• 🎓 I consider myself a lifelong economics educator (& student) — previously I was an Associate Professor of Economics at Hood College. The bulk of my repositories here are teaching individual economic concepts, or former courses (all open materials)
• 👨‍🏫 All of my courses have individual websites (made with R & Quarto) with open source materials. Use at your pleasure!
• 🧑🏻‍🔬 My research focuses on the political economy of innovation, intellectual property, and economic development. I keep my paper projects as private repositories here, made public after publication.
• 🧑🏻‍💻 I am an evangelical user of R, Rmarkdown/Quarto, and Github for reproducible data science, research, teaching, and general workflow (90% of my life is spent in R Studio)
• ✍🏻 I very occasionally blog about examples and guides to using these data science tools
• 📫 I have an occasional newsletter about innovation and economic theory: Increasing Returns
• 🤔 I am experimentally exploring network theory, agent-based modeling, and more computational social science
