I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hawai'i Economic Research Organization (UHERO).
I hold a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Management from the University of Southern California.
My research connects environmental economics with regional economic development. Climate change and rapid decarbonization demand massive regional transformations, which can act as structural bottlenecks. They distribute socioeconomic burdens unevenly across communities, i.e., through disrupted supply chains or degraded air quality. Overcoming these challenges requires designing and implementing economic institutions to successfully remove barriers and foster resilient regional growth.
My job market paper investigates how drought at the Panama Canal disrupted maritime networks, creating port congestion along the US West Coast and degrading local air quality, using a chained two-stage least squares design.
My other works explore the impact of heavy-duty trucks on urban air pollution and ground-level ozone in Bogota, Colombia, and the relationship between electric vehicle adoption and national-level emissions in coal-dependent nations.
