Bio. I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics at William & Mary, a liberal arts college in Southeastern Virginia. 

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Michigan under the supervision of Andrei Levchenko and Hoyt Bleakley. 

Fields. International Trade, Urban Economics, Spatial Economics

Research agenda. I use both applied microeconomics and spatial general equilibrium models in combination with administrative and historical datasets to analyze two topics:

• Trade, economic growth, structural transformation and comparative advantage at the regional and national level.

• How historical and modern urban/regional policies impact contemporary land values, rents, and investment.

Teaching. I teach two courses per semester, Principles of Statistics and International Trade. In addition, I actively supervise undergraduate theses. During the summers, I train one or two students in coding, econometrics, geospatial data, and economics research. These students typically work as my research assistants.
