Joe has taught courses in 'Global Strategy', 'Strategic Management', 'Organizational Theory', 'International M&As', 'Industrial Organization', 'Microeconomics', 'Macroeconomics', 'Money & Banking', and 'Economic Theories, Ideologies & Policies'.

Joe’s research interests are interdisciplinary (combining management, industrial organization, and political economy) and international in both scope and nature. He employs an applied economics approach to research questions in both business and economics, and much of his research attempts to understand the antecedents and consequences of M&A activity. His current research efforts include the following: the impact of merger events on rival firms; the role of the legal environment for antitrust policy in affecting business decisions concerning M&As; the influence of cross-border merger activity on domestic wages; and the means via which acquisitions increase productivity. Beyond these M&A topics, he is also doing research on the impact of ISO 9000 on cross-border economic activity, and the impact of deregulation and privatization on the pricing strategies of European airports.
