Welcome! My research primarily focuses on the opportunities and challenges that intellectual property (IP) institutions present to firms and entrepreneurs. I explore this phenomenon in such empirical contexts as IP application, licensing, and enforcement in both domestic and global markets.
My work is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Structural Transformation and Economic Growth (STEG) programme.
