My research focuses on Macroeconomics and Finance, with an emphasis on expectations, disagreement, and the aspects of decision-making that are relevant to policy.
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Economics at Johns Hopkins University.
My Job Market Paper, Mind the Gap: Disagreement and Credible Monetary Policy, studies how disagreement between policymakers and markets affects the transmission of monetary policy.
