I am a Deputy Director of Research and 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, The New Republic, The Atlantic, Bloomberg Opinion, Bloomberg News, New York Times, 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 student research collaborator.
