This is beyond applied work; we strive to do research that yields actionable results.

• Technology and innovation (JEL Code O3), with an emphasis on productivity, international competitiveness, and regional variation.
• Small business economics (JEL Code L26), with a focus on factors and strategies leading to competitive success.
• Behavioral economics (JEL Code D1), with a focus on behaviors that lead to success with respect to personal and household finances.
• Economic education (JEL Code A2) and financial literacy (JEL Code D14), with an interest in the information and delivery systems that lead to the best outcomes for specific communities of learners.
• Risk management for investment portfolios (JEL Code G), with an interest in models that can test alternative investment strategies.
