About Me
About Me
I am an Assistant Professor of Economics in School of Economics and Business Administration at St Mary's College of California.
My research interests are applied microeconomics topics, such as Economics of Crime, Labor Economics, and Public Policy. My research focuses on issues in social institutions, including inefficiencies and distortions caused by discrimination.
My job market paper examines the impact of gender matching between prosecutors and defendants on charging and conviction outcomes using administrative data from a district attorney's office with random case assignments. The findings reveal same-gender stringency in property crimes and leniency in personal crimes.
My other work centers around the impact of rising geopolitical tension on cross-boarder student mobility, knowledge diffusion and scientist productivity.
