Welcome to my homepage. I am a Ph.D. candidate at Western Michigan University, with an expected PhD defence date in October 2011. My areas of interest are international trade, monetary economics, and labor economics. My doctoral dissertation, "Spatial Analysis of Foreign Direct Investment Determinants and Economic Growth in Developing Countries" examines the relevance of spatial interdependence of FDI and economic growth.
My future research interest includes; international migration of health care workers (Nurses and Physicians), housing market and immigration in the U.S. and factors hindering immigrants' access to healthcare services in the U.S.
