Job title: 
Clinical Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, New York University
Bio/CV: 

I am an applied economist and I study processes of innovation, both scientific and cultural. My research interests have led me to a wide variety of settings, from economic history and politics to financial markets. As an applied econometrician, I have used quasi-experimental methodologies, lab experiments, and more recently machine learning methods in research. That said, the primary motivation behind my research lies not in the application of methods but in the questions, which concern the interaction between culture, politics, social attitudes, and economic outcomes

Research interests: 

Innovation and Academic Research
