I received my PhD from the Department of Economics at UC Santa Barbara. I am currently an Associate in The Brattle Group’s Competition practice. I have extensive experience developing econometric models to estimate the harm associated with anticompetitive conduct, particularly in litigation matters related to the technology firms. I also have experience analyzing competition issues in merger reviews related to the agriculture industry.
My academic research interests lie in the realm of macroeconomics and econometrics, with a particular emphasis on labor economics, demographic change, and time series techniques. My research uses economic theory to explore the implications of secular trends and econometric techniques to better inform our theories. Topically, I have written on the growth effects of aging populations, the implications of rising female labor force attachment for household migration decisions, and the estimation of impulse response functions using local projections.
