I am an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at Penn State University. I completed my PhD in Economics at New York University in 2019.

My research interests lie in applied microeconomics, applied econometrics and labor economics, with a focus on household decision-making, child development and dynamic multi-agent models. 

My current research primarily explores the dynamic formation of human capital in a household setting with multiple agents,  the role of (time) preference heterogeneity, and the design of social policy. I have worked on intra-household bargaining with limited commitment between parents, children's effort and parental incentive schemes, time (in)consistent discounting in collective choice, habit formation, and dynamic legislative bargaining.
