I am an applied microeconomist at Williams College and a Research Fellow at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA). In 2024-5 I served as a Senior Advisor in the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, working on environmental regulation and benefit-cost analysis. My research has studied individual and firm responses to pollution-control policies, expectations of future air pollution and corresponding avoidance behavior, and the effects of sunset-driven sleep differences on labor earnings. More generally I am interested in how environmental forces enter the decisions people make in daily life. In studying these decisions, I seek to join causal empirical methods to explicit theoretical structure.
