Dr. Parker’s academic journey began at the University of Texas–Arlington, where he received a B.B.A. in Business Systems Analysis in 1983. His studies continued at the University of Washington–Seattle, where he earned an M.A. in Economics in 1987 and a Ph.D. in 1992.
Dr. Parker has made significant contributions to the field of economics, particularly in comparative and international economics. His research has contributed to a deeper understanding of economic reforms and their impacts on productivity and efficiency.
Here are some highlights of his work:
He undertook an extensive study of economic reforms in China and Russia, focusing on productivity, fiscal decentralization, and the impact of ownership on public and private utilities.
His research includes an examination of labor productivity and migration in Chinese agriculture, as well as the efficiency of public and private water utilities.
He has explored price deflation, money demand, and monetary policy discontinuity in Japan, China, and the United States.
Dr. Parker has published numerous articles in reputable journals, including the Journal of Agricultural Economics, China Economic Review, and Land Economics. His work on fiscal centralization and decentralization in Russia and China has been widely cited.
As a professor and chair of the Economics Department at the University of Nevada, Reno, Dr. Parker is dedicated to educating the next generation of economists.
