Biography
Brandon Tripp is an economist specializing in behavioral economics. He earned bachelors and masters degrees in economics from the University of Kansas, and a PhD in economics from Cornell University. After a postdoc in the economics dept at Cornell, he joined PAM as a lecturer in 2016.
In teaching any sort of economics or policy course, I try to engage students early (and often) in an ongoing discussion. Whenever possible, I try to emphasize the ideas that: (i) most economics questions can have multiple answers; and (ii) most answers rely on some critical assumptions. I believe that this approach also helps build the student's confidence to simply ask a question in the first place -- a positive externality that goes beyond economics!
