Welcome
I'm an Economist at the Federal Reserve Board. My research interests are in macroeconomics, household finance, housing, and applied microeconomics. I'm especially interested in theories of household behavior with implications for macroeconomic and public policy.
Previously I was an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Copenhagen. I remain affiliated with the Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI) in Copenhagen and the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) in London. I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of Oxford, during which I was a visiting student at Yale University.
