I am an empirical micro-economist who leverages experimental and quasi-experimental settings to address policy-relevant research questions in health and labor economics. I am particularly interested in studying how employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI) affects labor market outcomes. Other areas of interest include the economics of education and economic history, where I examine the effect of the 1944 G.I. Bill on female World War II veterans, how the likelihood of slave escape affected antebellum slave prices, and whether the labor market values online degree programs. A relatively new area of research for me examines how ridesharing (Uber, Lyft, etc.) affects patterns of alcohol consumption and associated risky behavior. In other work, I study how moral concerns shape policy preferences and how they can explain differences between economists’ and non-economists’ views on divisive issues.
