Short Bio
I
am an economist at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. My research focuses on the behavior
of U.S. firms affected by international trade.
Prior to beginning my graduate studies, I worked in the
private sector, advising domestic and foreign firms involved
in antidumping and safeguard investigations.
This is a personal website. Any results or conclusions
in the research presented on this website are my own and do
not necessarily represent the views of the Federal Reserve
System.
