Jeffrey Parker, George Hay Professor of Economics

Jeff Parker came to Reed in 1988 after teaching at the University of Houston. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Stanford University in 1981. His major field of interest is macroeconomics, with special emphasis on labor-market issues and unemployment. He teaches macroeconomic theory, monetary and fiscal policy, economic growth, econometrics and the economics of science and technology at Reed. His published research includes papers on structural unemployment, inflation uncertainty and the determinants of student enrollment decisions at liberal-arts colleges. Current research focuses on the connection between education and labor-market flexibility and the implications that this has for aggregate unemployment. Jeff has published several instructional works and software packages, including the study guide for one of the leading introductory economics texts, which is now in its sixth edition. He has also lectured nationally on the application of laboratory experiments to the teaching of economics.
