I am an applied microeconomist with research interests in health economics, labor economics, and demography. My research typically uses longitudinal data, econometric methods, and dynamic choice models to study the relationships between health and economic behaviors over a person’s lifetime. I teach courses in microeconomics, econometrics, and health economics.
