Biography
Faculty Bio
Mark Weinstock completed his undergraduate and graduate studies in Economics at The City University of New York. His contribution to non-linear econometric modeling of bank regulation received the Leon Horniker Award for Research Excellence. It was also at Hunter College and City College that he began to develop an eclectic teaching style which combined experimental classroom technologies and projects with video, real world examples, and humor, along with more traditional methodologies.
Weinstock was an electronics entrepreneur for many years, allowing him to bring real world elements of finance and business into the classroom to create a bridge between the theoretical underpinnings of economics and real-world applications.
He began his career at Pace University in 2000 where he was instrumental in developing a fresh and exciting approach to teaching economics. The new curriculum and pedagogy, he helped implement has helped lead hundreds of students to exciting and rewarding careers and graduate degrees at top graduate programs throughout the world. He has brought dozens of Pace students each year to external research conferences including the prestigious Economics Scholars Program at the Dallas Federal Reserve Bank by serving as their research advisor. He is a member of the Society of Fellows at Pace University with a class inducted under his name in 2015.
