Daniel Farhat serves as Professor of Economics at Radford University, committed to creating active learning environments that develop analytical and innovative business professionals through faculty-led research and study abroad programs. His academic journey spans decades of connecting economic theory with real-world applications to address resource scarcity challenges.
His educational foundation includes:
- Bachelor's degree in Economics and Anthropology from the University of California—San Diego
- Master's degree in Economics from the University of Oregon
- Ph.D. in Economics from the University of California—Riverside
Farhat's research spans Macroeconomics, International Macroeconomics, Business Economics, and Agent-Based Modeling, with notable contributions in Gender Economics and Terrorism Economics. He investigates heroic altruism, gender-neutral toys, and policy unintended consequences using artificial social simulation and search engine query data. His interdisciplinary approach bridges economic theory with computational methods to analyze complex social phenomena.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent focus on economic-social behavior intersections, particularly through agent-based modeling of ethnocentrism, gender economics in consumer markets, and business cycle analysis using novel data sources. His work on terrorism countermeasures, mental health correlations with economic performance, and gender policy impacts demonstrates methodological innovation through Google search data and computational simulations.
Farhat actively mentors students through research projects addressing contemporary issues including COVID-19 policies, gender pay gap analysis, and space economy emergence. These initiatives provide hands-on experience in economic analysis while preparing students for real-world problem-solving through faculty-led research engagement and global perspectives developed via study abroad programs.
