I research housing market externalities and intergenerational dynamics using a combination of data and theory. My research fields are urban, labor, and public economics, including subfields such as the economics of the household, public policy analysis, and welfare economics.
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Economics of An Aging Workforce at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University.
In July 2018 I will be joining the W. E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research as an Economist.
