Dr. Onnie (Pipatchaipoom) Norrbin is an assistant professor of economics for the Brock School of Business at Samford University, where she teaches macroeconomics and econometrics. Prior to joining SU’s faculty in 2006, she was an assistant professor for Newman University in Wichita, Kansas. Dr. Norrbin earned her Ph.D. in Economics from Florida State University and wrote her doctoral dissertation on real interest rate computational techniques in 2005. At FSU, she received two outstanding graduate student teaching awards, an award for academic achievement, and a dissertation fellowship.
Dr. Norrbin’s research on real interest rate computations has been presented in both national and international conferences as well as to a group of economists at the Bank of Thailand. Her more recent work has followed a research trajectory that aims to explain international exchange rate volatility and deviations from the purchasing power parity hypothesis.
