Research

I'm an applied microeconomist with interests in public economics and political economy. See below for links to download working papers. My understanding is that the transition to "New Google Sites" has broken a lot of links (and some employers block access to Dropbox or Google Drive) - while my intention is to migrate all of these papers to a universally accessible location, in the meantime if you can't access any of these, please send me an email and I'd be happy to send you a copy of any of my papers.
