My research focuses on Macroeconomics and Finance, with an emphasis on expectations, disagreement, and the behavioral aspects of decision-making that are relevant to policy.
I am on the 2025–2026 job market.
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.
