Dr. David Harris serves as Professor and Chair of the Economics Department at Benedictine College, where he has held academic positions since 2003. His scholarly work bridges economic theory with ethical frameworks, particularly focusing on Catholic Social Teaching's dialogue with mainstream economics. He maintains active teaching responsibilities across core economics curricula while contributing to educational research methodology.
His academic credentials include:
- Doctor of Philosophy in Economics, University of Missouri-Kansas City (2008)
- Master of Science in Economics, Iowa State University (1999)
- Bachelor of Arts in Economics, Benedictine College (1997)
Research centers on Catholic Social Teaching's intersection with economic theory, examining technology's impact on work dignity and ethical dimensions of market systems. Additional foci include Behavioral Economics in educational settings, Social Economics of policy impacts, and historical analysis of economic thought. Recent investigations explore student cognition in economics learning and philosophical foundations of labor.
Publication analysis reveals dual research trajectories: classroom experimentation on incentive structures and theological-economic theory integration. Educational studies quantitatively assess grade expectation formation and monetary incentive efficacy, while theoretical work systematically compares Catholic social principles with Veblenian institutionalism regarding technological change and work meaning.
