E/M-360: Managerial Economics
(September-December-2022)
This course offers a robust overview of advanced microeconomics theory,
basic estimation techniques, and applied business economics. The class
emphasizes the use of critical thinking, microeconomics theory, and
empirical analysis in applying managerial decisions related to the firm
or government institutions. The main objective in this course is to
strengthen students’ background in applied economics, empirical
analysis, and problem-solving skills.
E/M-360: Principles of Microeconomics
(September-Spring-2023)
This course provides a basic introduction to the fundamentals of
microeconomics. Which is the part of economics that focuses primarily on
the interaction between individuals and markets. Here, we learn about
the basic supply and demand model, the nature of markets, consumer
theory, firm theory, and the concept of comparative advantage in
international trade.
E/M-368: Internships (Summer-2022)
This course allows students to conduct practical internships under the
supervision of a professor who is qualified in the relevant field. This
summer, I supervised two students involved in banking internships with
Frandsen Bank and US Bank.
Econometrics-388 (FALL-2021-Spring
2022)
This course exposes students to applied statistics and provides a
general overview of the fundamentals of probability theory. Students
learn the fundamentals of probability: random variables, expectation of
a random variable, probability distributions (discrete and continuous),
moment generating functions (brief introduction), measures of central
tendency, correlation, and covariance rules. Students identity the
theoretical underpinning of a simple linear regression model by relying
on monte carlo simulations. The course introduces students to the
Gauss-Markov assumptions and the focuses extensively on the peculiar
issue of heteroskedasticity. Students learn how to conduct a multiple
regression analysis with qualitative variables (for example, the course
introduces students to the difference-in-difference estimator). Students
learn how to perform statistical inference (hypothesis testing) and
derive confidence intervals. Students learn how to conduct research
using the following advanced econometric methods: error-correction
model, structural var, panel fixed-effect model, two-stage least squares
estimator, and binary response models (for example, probit and
logit).
Business Finance-270 (FALL-2021-Spring
2022)
This course exposes students to the fundamentals of managerial finance
and financial accounting. Students learn how to perform ratio analysis
of corporate financial statements. Students get introduced to the
fundamentals of cash flow and financial planning. The course covers the
time value of money concepts. Students learn the fundamentals of the
term structure of interest rates. Students learn how to estimate the
famous capital asset pricing model. The class also covers valuation
models (stocks and bonds). Student finish the course by learning about
working capital management.

Principles of Microeconomics(FALL-2020)
This introductory course in microeconomics covered the following topics:
introduction to international trade, consumer theory, market
fundamentals, costs analysis, and market structures. My teaching
strategy was based on getting students comfortable with the theory
behind important concepts such as cost minimization, optimization
(constrained + unconstrained), marginal analysis, and
elasticity.

Accounting, Economics and Finance [website]
Principles of Macroeconomics (FALL-2019)[website]:
I covered the following topics in principles of macroeconomics: Solow
growth model, financial markets (bonds and stocks), the Federal Reserve
System, fiscal policy, exchange rate regimes (fixed versus floating
exchange rate), and the AS-AD model. The main strategy in this course
was to provide a sound foundation in macroeconomics to allow students to
take advanced courses in intermediate macroeconomics with calculus.
MBA-520 Economics for Managers (FALL-2019, Spring
2020)
This course provided a rigorous foundation in advanced microeconomics
and macroeconomics theory for MBA students; including a strong
introduction to the linear regression model. The first part of the
curriculum focused on economic equilibrium, solving the optimization
problem of the firm (constrained and unconstrained optimization),
consumer theory, cost analysis, market structures (perfect competition,
monopolistic competition, pure monopoly, and oligopoly), pricing
strategies (bundling, price discrimination, and two-part tariff).
Whereas the second part of the course dealt with how changes in the
macroeconomic environment (for example, fiscal policy, exchange rate
policies, and monetary policies) affected the business cycle.

Managerial Economics (Spring 2018 - Fall
2020)
This course provided a robust overview of advanced microeconomics theory
and business applications. It emphasized the use of economic theory in
applying managerial decisions related to the firm. The objective in this
course was to strengthen MBA students’ background in microeconomics
theory and enhance students’ problem-solving skills through applicable
case studies.
