Assistant Professor of Economics Paul Shea, is a macroeconomist and econometrician who develops mathematical models to make accurate prediction of expectations which are important to economists. Prof. Shea works with algorithms that simulate various factors affecting economic behavior and seeks to model expectations so the agents — the theoretical people in his models — “are just about as smart as the people who are actually making decisions in the economy.”
