Research

Work in progress

• I currently work on the effect of work-from-home (WFH) on migration patterns and the real estate market with Nick Bloom at Stanford. My research is motivated by my broader interests in the social and economic consequences of emerging technologies.
  • Read our NBER working paper, SIEPR policy brief or CEPR Vox column.

Past research

• From 2018-2021 I worked with Naomi Feldman and Kevin Corinth to estimate the causal effects of the Opportunity Zone provision of the 2018 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) on neigborhood economies.

• From 2020-2021 I worked with Pete Klenow on his project with Chad Jones at Stanford studying the disparity between Black and White Americans over the past four decades using a new consumption-equivalent welfare metric that incorporates consumption, leisure, inequality, health status, unemployment, and incarceration.

• From 2019-2020 I worked with Ramin Toloui at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) to develop Stanford’s first course on the economics of artifical intelligence.

• From 2015-2017 I worked with David Gleich at Purdue on algorithms for efficient generation of large random networks. Our work was published at SIAM Review and ICDM.
