I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Middlebury College and a Research Affiliate of the Population Wellbeing Initiative at the University of Texas.

I work primarily in macroeconomics—specifically growth and development—as well as agricultural and environmental economics. Recently, I've been thinking about issues at the intersection of demographic change, technological progress, and sustainability. Within agricultural economics, I focus on animal welfare as an economic externality—an idea that is underexplored in our discipline.

Personally, I have taken the Giving What We Can Pledge to donate 10% of my income where I think it can do the most good.
