Von der Ruhr’s approach to teaching emphasizes the economic approach to problem solving and explores non-obvious areas in which the economic way of thinking may offer insights. He is particularly interested in interdisciplinary topics, both in his teaching and in his research. He is trained in international trade, macroeconomics and econometrics.
Von der Ruhr’s efforts in teaching and scholarship have been recognized by way of St. Norbert’s Leonard Ledvina Award for Excellence in Teaching along with the Donald B. King Award for Distinguished Scholarship.
His hobbies include biking, running, kayaking and playing guitar. He enjoys sharing these interests with his wife, Jennifer, and daughters, Emily and Sarah.
Von der Ruhr’s research and teaching interests inform each other and focus on the interdisciplinary and applied nature of economics. His work explores international issues related to trade and foreign direct investment, as well as factors that impact personal policy preferences regarding trade and immigration. His research has explored how a person’s religious affiliation and religiosity impact attitudes toward a variety of issues ranging from international policy preferences to trust in others. This work has led Marc to research factors that have allowed megachurches to thrive in a religious marketplace as well as the dynamics of religious identity formation and religious switching.
His research has been published in a variety of academic journals and books. Most recently, his work has appeared in the Interdisciplinary Journal of Research on Religion, International Tax & Public Finance, the Review of International Economics, and the International Journal of Social Economics. He also was invited to contribute a chapter to the book “Megachurches in the Religious Marketplace.”
