Biography

Prior to the Princeton MPA program, David lived in Paris working as a Research Officer at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) Center for Tax Policy and Administration. There, he co-conducted the official economic impact assessment of the OECD's once-in-a-century, multi-billion-dollar, "Two Pillar" overhaul of the global corporate tax system, contributing key economic analysis to a 141-country multilateral treaty negotiation. David also co-authored an OECD working paper on the econometric relationship between taxation and corporate investment. Originally from Washington, D.C., David double-majored in economics and public policy at the University of Chicago, graduating summa cum laude and winning the Richard P. Taub prize for his bachelor's thesis. At the University of Chicago, he also co-founded a student-run think tank, the Paul Douglas Institute. In addition, David has interned at Washington, D.C., think tanks including the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institute. This past summer, David interned at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in London. After Princeton, David hopes to pursue a career in the intersection of economic policy analysis and multilateral negotiation.
