Teaching Philosophy:
Professor Cuddington emphasizes the use of sound economic principles to analyze policy issues and problems confronting firms, governments, and other organizations. His courses demonstrate the practical insights produced by interdisciplinary research, research that entails economic analyses that explicitly take into account the institutional and technological relationships governing the behavior of firms and other economic actors in the marketplace.

He believes that formal education is a short but formative part of a life-long learning process. Thus, the formal component of education must encourage and foster the informal learning that takes place after leaving the university. This means that on campus learning both in and out of the classroom should instill a sense of the excitement and intellectual challenge associated with scholarship.
