I study how monetary policy, shared shocks, and institutions shape economic adjustment and growth. My work brings together macroeconomics, applied econometrics, and business analytics.
02 / SCHOLARSHIP
Understanding policy transmission and economic adjustment across countries and regions.
PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATION
This study examines U.S. state price convergence while accounting for shared national shocks and cross-sectional dependence. It highlights how econometric specification changes our understanding of regional adjustment.

04 / IN THE CLASSROOM
Connecting economic models with current data, policy choices, and practical decisions.
I use evidence-based, discussion-centered instruction to help students identify assumptions, explain economic mechanisms, and evaluate competing interpretations.
My courses combine quantitative exercises and real-world applications with scaffolded assignments, transparent expectations, and frequent checks for understanding.
My teaching experience spans liberal arts economics, business statistics, finance, and asynchronous instruction.
