Students develop an idea of potential research, I would then guide them through the process of identifying a model, collecting empirical data, develop testable hypotheses leading to a final product, the Thesis

Worked in the Economic Assessment Office within the Advanced Technology Program. We did complete and varied economic assessments of ATP projects. Eventually, we created an entirely new methodology for evaluating the economic benefits of funding high-techology (Early Stage)products.
