My research interests span public finance, family economics, housing markets, and computational economics. I study topics such as taxation, inequality, family composition, and housing dynamics, primarily through the lens of quantitative macroeconomics. By incorporating rich heterogeneity into structural models, my work captures key complexities of real-world economies. This approach enables a detailed examination of how different groups respond to policy changes. The resulting quantitative evidence is directly applicable to the evaluation and design of real-world tax scheme, welfare system, and housing policies, with a particular focus on distributional impacts and welfare improvement.
