Rate My Professor Neerja Aggarwal

In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Aggarwal contributes to faculty development as a mentor in UCI's Summer Teaching Apprenticeship Program (STAP) through the Division of Teaching Excellence and Innovation. She highlights the rewards of mentoring by stating, "Helping the scholars grow in teaching, and learning from them." Her scholarly work focuses on international trade policy, evidenced by her presentation in the UCI Economics Department Econometrics Seminar on November 28, 2007, titled "The Formation of Non-Tariff Barriers: An Integrated Framework for Empirical Analysis." This research led to a key publication: "The formation of non-tariff barriers: an integrated framework for empirical analysis," appearing in the International Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Optimisation in 2014 (Volume 5, Numbers 1/2, pages 131-152). The work integrates political-economic theories into an empirical model for analyzing non-tariff barriers. Through her multifaceted roles in teaching, mentoring, and research, Aggarwal enriches the academic environment in Business & Economics at UCI.
