Doug McKee teaches economics at Cornell where he also co-directs the Economic Education Lab with George Orlov. Doug and George have published several research papers with their students and have several more that they need to finish. They are founding members of the Economic Education Network for Experiments (EENE), and they have an NSF grant (DUE-2021094) to study the long-term effects of active learning and online education on undergraduate student learning outcomes. Doug also led the Cornell economics department’s Active Learning Initiative project that transformed eight core courses in the department using active learning pedagogy.

Before joining Cornell, Doug taught economics and statistics at Yale while serving as the Associate Chair in Economics. He co-hosts the Teach Better Podcast and writes the Teach Better blog, though neither are particularly active at the moment.

Doug also has his own web site.
