I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Boston University.

My main research interests are Applied Macroeconomics and Innovation & Growth. I am particularly interested in the microeconomic drivers of firm innovation and overall economic growth.

You can see my CV and Job Market Paper, "Exploitative Innovation and Growth".

In my JMP, I explore how firms' ability to create follow-up innovations matters for firm growth and explains the documented decline in US manufacturing output and patent growth after 2000.

In another project, "Patent Disclosure, Firm Innovation, and Growth", I study the effect of patent policy, showing how patent publications could discourage firm patenting and the consequences of patenting decline for industry competition and growth.
