Teaching: Academic & Specialist Courses

I have taught across a wide range of courses at UCT from first year to Ph.D. level. These include:
1. 1. Undergraduate economics courses: micro, macro, development, public, quantitative methods, applied international trade bargaining.
  2. Postgraduate economics courses: development, labour, policy analysis, growth & governance, economic growth, economics of waste & the circular economy.
I have also taught in the 2nd year Masters / Ph.D. program at the Economics and Planning Unit, Indian Statistical Institute in Delhi, India in 2020: Econometric Applications 2.
In 2023 I taught my book, How data quality affects our understanding of the earnings distribution, as a 2-day, 16-hour workshop at the University of Paris-1 Pantheon Sorbonne. This book is best treated as part of a Masters / PhD course in Microeconometrics.
I was also involved in the economics undergraduate curriculum change project at UCT in the School of Economics. Some background can be found at this 2015 Johannesburg Stock Exchange Magazine article here.
