Dr. Bo Liu

15 years ago I was a student here, I enjoyed the school and the facility and had a perfect time. When I finished grad school I wanted to come back and help with what I had, I really loved the people who were here in the different departments, the professors were the same too soIwasveryhappytoworkwiththem.

Some careers use specific knowledge of economics, for example, banks, insurance, accountability firms, business, and government. These jobs may involve identifying financial risks, deciding whether a company or a government should invest in resources in the future, or even how to design a bidding platform for eBay or offer an Amazon discount There are also roles for economists in think tanks and consultancies that give governments and companies on public policy, such as how to deal withtheGreekdebtcrisis

Hi, I’m Dr Bo Liu and I’m an associate professor of Economics in the department of Finance and Economics this is my 5th year at Southern New Hampshire University and I teach different economicscoursessuchasInternationalEconomics,Microeconomics,andMacroeconomics.

Thestudyofeconomicshelpspeopleunderstand the world around them. It enables people to understand people, businesses, markets, and governments, and better respond to the threats and opportunities that emerge when things change. Economics helps you think strategically andmakedecisionstooptimizetheoutcome.

Begin by incorporating flexibility into studies.
