I write about economics, discuss my research, and share my projects.

My main interests are monetary policy & development economics.

I am in the process of aggregating my economics work onto this site; a larger sample of my work is available upon request!

Currently working on research examining intergenerational mobility in the United States during the Reconstruction Era and China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
