I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at Yale School of Management. I received my PhD from the Economics Department at Columbia University.
My research explores topics in real estate, corporate finance, and macro-finance.
I study topics related to the regulation of real estate markets and where firms choose to locate their operations in response to local tax and financing incentives. My work also touches on household finance and intermediation aspects of property investment, including delinquency, home equity credit lines, and property taxes.
