I am a 6th year PhD student in Economics at Arizona State University. I am on the 2026–27 academic job market.
My research interests lie at the intersection of macroeconomics, energy economics, and environmental economics. My job market paper shows that uncertainty over wind and solar subsidies slows the green energy transition: making the subsidy credible adds 13% more renewable capacity and generates a welfare gain of $322 billion. Other projects study the spatial externalities of diesel taxes and how firms use permits to avoid anticipated regulation.
In 2026 I was an AEA Summer Fellow at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. I was previously a visiting PhD student at New York University, and I hold a double B.A. in Economics from the New Economic School and the Higher School of Economics.

The Aggregate Impact of Policy Uncertainty in the Green Energy Transition
Federal subsidies for wind and solar are the central instrument of U.S. electricity sector decarbonization, yet their presence has been historically uncertain. In a dynamic spatial general-equilibrium model with a stochastic subsidy and irreversible capital, I find that making the subsidy credible adds 13% more renewable capacity, reduces cumulative power-sector emissions by 3.2% (2.29 Gt), and generates an aggregate welfare gain with a present value of $322 billion. Uncertainty has the greatest effect in regions least suited to wind and solar, like the Midwest.
