I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago. In my research, I use micro-data to estimate macroeconomic models and derive policy implications. My research thus far has evaluated the labor market effects of various fiscal instruments, the labor market effects of technological progress, and the institutional determinants of redistribution.
I will attend the EEA and ASSA 2020-2021 job market.
