Welcome to my website!



Research
I am a Senior Economist at the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research and an Affiliated Researcher at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) at Stockholm University. 

My main interest is the economics of social insurance, with a focus on the impact of unemployment insurance on labor market outcomes. I am also interested in economic applications of survey-based measures such as consumer confidence and measures of subjective well-being.  ​

My work has been mentioned in the Financial Times, Education Week, The New Republic, The Atlantic, Bloomberg Opinion, Bloomberg News, and the Wall Street Journal. My work with Tim Bartik and Brad Hershbein on the Kalamazoo Promise scholarship was cited in a 2016  Council of Economic Advisors special report on higher education and in the 2017 Economic Report of the President. 

Prior to coming to the W.E. Upjohn Institute I spent three semesters at Princeton University’s Industrial Relations Section as a visiting predoctoral researcher.
