I am a Research Economist at the International Monetary Fund, where I serve in the Macro-Financial Division of the Research Department. My work focuses on Financial Economics and Macroeconomics. Methodologically, I leverage causal inference and structural econometrics to test foundational assumptions about how firms and households behave in response to changes in their economic incentives. I then build on those insights to think about practical policy recommendations.Thematically, my research interests span a wide range of topics, such as the micro and macroeconomic effects of monetary policy and unemployment insurance. My most recent work casually establishes that firms actively manage project gestation lags, and studies corporate investment when projects take time to build. I provide novel insights for the conduct of monetary policy, the design of investment tax credits, and practical capital budgeting.I contribute to the academic literature, to business performance, and to policy debates by providing rigorous theoretical and empirical analyses. I am passionate about exploring the interplay between macroeconomic phenomena and financial markets, and how they affect the real economy and society.
