Welcome. I am an economist specialized in macroeconomics. My research aims to assess distributional effects of macroeconomic policy, understand barriers to productivity growth, and understand optimal choices over the life cycle.
Issues I have studied include welfare cost of inflation, financial frictions facing small businesses, and production networks.
