Department:  Economics

Research Interest:  I am interested in the ways in which monetary and fiscal policy can both alleviate and exacerbate economic crises. In recent years, governments have taken increasingly extreme and varied responses to financial crises. I am interested in discovering novel approaches to respond to financial crises through public policy. I also am interested in historical data on economic crises, such as data on the Great Depression.

Hobbies:  Reading, tutoring, and all things Philly sports.
