Jeffrey Edwards is an Associate Professor at North Carolina A&T State University
and is the Chair of the Department of Economics and Finance. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa
with a B.A. in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and
attained his Ph.D. from Virginia Tech with a concentration in Econometrics. He
specializes in empirically modeling cross-country growth and volatility with an emphasis
on the statistical adequacy of those models. Within this field, his primary interests are
in the effects of volatility on growth, heterogeneities in such relationships, the
dissemination of volatility to other economies, and its political implications. As a
personal interest, he evaluates the impact that water and sanitation privatization has
had on macroeconomic variables, as well as rural versus urban attitudes toward municipal
water rationing. He is also an Editor of the Economics Collection for Business Expert
Press, a textbook publisher for non-traditional and executive advanced degrees.
