Vita

I am a Ph.D. Economist at UC San Diego, working on macroeconomics and finance.

Research Statement

My research studies how expectations are formed, priced, and transmitted through macroeconomic policy and financial markets. I combine theory-guided measurement with empirical designs that recover disagreement, forecast distortions, and belief-driven shocks, using these objects to understand monetary and fiscal transmission, professional forecasting, confidence cycles, and risk in production networks.

Dissertation: Essays on the Macroeconomics of Expectations

Job Market Paper: Mind the Gap: Disagreement and Credible Monetary Policy
