Education

EDUCATION Ph.D., Economics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. M.A., Economics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH. B.A., Economics, Michigan State University, The Honors College and The Eli Broad School of Business, East Lansing, Michigan. High School: Revere High School, Richfield, Ohio. Birthplace: New York City, New York, U.S.A. DOCTORAL FIELDS OF SPECIALIZATION Macroeconomics International Economics DISSERTATION TITLE Interest Differentials and International Stock Return Differentials as Empirical Determinants of Exchange Rate Movements DISSERTATION ABSTRACT First, I used a model of interest differentials on government bonds to explain exchange rate movements. Prior empirical research has not validated this theory. I used band spectrum regression and its related testing procedures to uncover a statistically significant relationship at medium to long-run frequencies using monthly data. Next, I developed a model of the exchange rate that is based upon stock return differentials on international stock market indices. I tested this using five years of daily data and validated the model.
