Economist studying inequality and taxation, AI and automation, and the economics of technological change.
I am an economist studying how wealth, technology, and institutions shape economic outcomes. My research focuses on the causes and consequences of wealth inequality, the economic effects of automation and artificial intelligence, and the role of taxation and public policy in promoting broadly shared prosperity.
A central theme of my work is understanding how technological progress transforms the distribution of income and wealth. As AI and automation increasingly affect production, labor markets, and ownership structures, important questions emerge: Who benefits from technological change? How does innovation affect inequality? What policies can sustain economic dynamism while promoting economic opportunity?
My research combines macroeconomics, political economy, growth theory, and stratification economics to study these questions. Recent projects examine wealth taxation, racial wealth inequality, secular stagnation, technological unemployment, and the relationship between capital accumulation and economic growth.
Through academic research, public engagement, and policy-oriented work, I seek to contribute to debates about how economies can remain innovative, productive, and equitable in an era of rapid technological change.
