Teaching Resources
This page aggregates materials from my time teaching Principles of Microeconomics and Macroeconomics at Northeastern University — lecture slides, worksheets, exercises, instructions for in-class games. Along with the older material, I am also developing a new series using education markets to teach principles of micro from scratch in an accessible way.
Featured Series
Learning Microeconomics through a thorough discussion of education, from elementary to higher-ed
A 15-chapter introduction to microeconomic concepts using aspects of schools, colleges, and universities as examples and case study. No prior experience with economics needed. From demand curves and market structure to signaling, price discrimination, and principal-agent problems, all connected to how education markets actually work in the real world.

Recitation Worksheets
Weekly worksheets from Fall 2017 recitations — designed for students to identify what they know and what they don’t, and as a springboard for class discussion. Covers PPC, markets, GDP, unemployment, inflation, AD/AS, and externalities.

Lecture Videos
Instructional videos originally created for remote and hybrid delivery during 2020–2022. Currently hosted on Panopto — migration to YouTube in progress.
In-class Games
Useful Games to Play in Class
Five games that I play with students in class to teach them important concepts in a hands-on way, including instructions on how to implement them in similar introductory level economics classes.
