Jeffrey Edwards is an Associate Professor at North Carolina A&T State
University. 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 has published
in the following journals: Empirical Economics, International Journal of Finance and
Economics, Economic Modelling, Topics in Macroeconomics, Ecological Economics, Global
Economy Journal, Social Choice and Welfare, Applied Economics, Natural Resources Journal,
Applied Economics Letters, International Journal of Water Resources Development, Water
International, Southwestern Journal of Economics, Atlantic Economic Journal, the Journal
of Economics, and Econ Journal Watch, Applied Econometrics and International
Development.
