Behind the syllabus: Dean Croushore

What do you do during the weekends?

I sped my time working on my golf game (trying to get my handicap to single digits), revising my textbooks, which need constant updating because the economy changes so much and playing ball with my puppy Spice.

What's the craziest thing you did when you were in college?

Inspired by Bobby Fischer, I wanted to be the next world class chess champion, so I spent much of my college years pursuing that goal. Now I realize that the craziest thing I did in college was not dong anything crazy: I should have had more fun.

What's one thing your students would never guess about you?

I love beer: I consider myself a beer connoisseur. I'm always happy to discuss economics at Capital Ale House.
