Biography
I am a public finance economist whose research primarily focuses on housing and urban policy. My recent work closely examines the effects of taxes, subsidies, and regulations on real estate development. Beyond this, I have also conducted research on the social safety net and occupational licensing regulations.
I received my Ph.D. in economics from MIT in 2024. Prior to joining Princeton, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Microsoft Research. I also served as a staff economist at the U.S. Council of Economic Advisers from 2021 to 2022.
