Personal Statement:
    I have been a university professor for over three decades and my work is quite widely known having published in some of the leading refereed journals. This work is quite frequently cited with an annual average of more than 30 citations over the last six or seven years. My graduate level international finance monograph, International Money and Finance, is widely used around the world including at Ivy League universities, and "number one' universities in the UK and Germany. I have been described as "an eminent economist" (The Times of London, September 15th, 2004); a "distinguished academic economist" (Fraser of Allander Institute, a Scottish 'think tank', web site); and as a "leading economist" (by a Scottish government Enterprise Minister).
    I am a dedicated teacher with consistently high student assessment ratings, teaching at all levels from introductory through the Ph.D level. I recently created an entirely new course, Economics of the Oceans for UConn's Maritime Studies and Coastal Studies degree programs. I also teach Economic History of the United States for the American Studies degree program. Many BGS students over the years have taken my classes.
