Nick McKinney

I joined the Rhodes Department of Economics and Business in 2003 after a two-year-post-doctoral appointment at the Harvard Business School. I enjoy teaching Econometrics, Game Theory and Applied Micro Economics. My main research areas are Experimental Economics and Applied Micro Economics. I grew up in Little Rock and I did my undergraduate studies at Centenary College of Louisiana. I received my Ph.D. from Texas A&M University.
