معرفی
Kenneth M. Rich is an Assistant Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics at the University of Mississippi, part of the College of Liberal Arts in Oxford. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from North Carolina State University and teaches courses in macroeconomics, monetary economics, and applied time series analysis at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
His educational background includes:
- B.S. in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (2014)
- M.A. in Economics from North Carolina State University-Raleigh (2017)
- Ph.D. in Economics from North Carolina State University-Raleigh (2022)
Dr. Rich's research centers on the evaluation of U.S. monetary and fiscal policies and their impact on financial markets and the macroeconomy. He employs advanced macroeconometric tools such as Bayesian vector autoregressions (VARs) and dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models. His work investigates the roles of inside and outside monetary aggregates, the interaction between monetary and fiscal policies, and their evolution since the postwar period. This positions him at the intersection of empirical macroeconomics and policy analysis.
His publication record includes a 2023 article in The BE Journal of Macroeconomics, which applies a Markov-switching Bayesian VAR framework to analyze interest rates and Federal Reserve policy, reflecting a strong methodological focus on nonlinear time series models and structural policy evaluation.
While no scientific awards are currently listed, his research trajectory suggests active engagement in policy-relevant macroeconomic modeling.
Dr. Rich advises students in economics and contributes to academic training through courses like Econ 203 (Principles of Macroeconomics), Econ 399 (Intermediate Macroeconomics), Econ 603 (Time Series Analysis), and Econ 628 (Macroeconomics II).
