Welcome to my page!
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at University of California, Santa Cruz. My primary fields of interest are Macroeconomics and Financial Economics, with a focus on climate change.
My research is focused on how firms, households, and financial institutions make decisions regarding climate risk mitigation and adaptation in the context of (i) lack of information about climate change and (ii) behavioral biases such as under-reaction in response to available information. You can find my job market paper here.
I am also interested in leveraging increasingly available microdata across developed and emerging economies to inform macroeconomic models of labor market outcomes and firm expectations.
My research has benefited from fellowships at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the New York Federal Reserve, and the San Francisco Federal Reserve.
I will be on the Economics job market during the 2024 - 2025 cycle and am available for interviews.
