Biography

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with research interests in labor economics and public economics.  As an applied economist, I study how labor markets, policies, and the business cycle interact, with a particular interest in employment and wage cyclicality and labor market inequality. I mainly use causal inference to analyze large data sets and address policy-relevant questions.
