I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at Yale School of Management. I received my PhD from the Economics Department at Columbia University in May 2020.
My research explores topics in corporate finance, real estate, and macro-finance.
I am particularly interested in the spatial dimensions of firm financing and investment. In another set of projects, I use administrative data to examine the incidence of taxes and financial regulation on real estate markets. My work also touches on household finance aspects of property investment.
My CV is here. My SSRN page.
I am currently hiring part-time research assistants for my projects. If you are a Yale undergraduate or graduate student, please see application instructions here.
