During my program, I regularly used the statistical software STATA to handle, manipulate, and analyze large data sets such as data from the US Census or the American Community Survey (ACS). For example, my job market paper, the first chapter of my dissertation, uses data from the 2006-2014 ACS merged with other data such as the TIGER/Line Shapefiles from the US Census. I perform all analysis in STATA.I also use a wide range of quantitative social study design approaches in my studies. For example, in my job market paper, I use an instrumental variables (IV) strategy to estimate the causal impact of the labor supply of undocumented immigrants on the probability of an elderly American "aging in place," that is, staying out of a nursing home. I further investigate the impact of the Secure Communities (SC) program on the labor supply of undocumented immigrants using the latest two-way fixed effects (TWFE)/difference-in-differences (DD) methodology.I have written two working papers throughout my studies to convey my results on the important contribution and effect of immigrant labor on the living arrangements of elderly Americans. One of them, The Effect of Immigration on the Living Arrangements of Elderly Natives, won second prize in the Annual Student Paper competition by the International Health Economics Association.

I was a research assistant for Julian Reif, PhD.• Reviewed the literature on allergens and education or crime outcomes and prepared report to share findings with Dr. Reif• Obtained administrative allergen data from the National Allergy Bureau• Cleaned administrative allergen data using STATA• Investigated the potential for a research project about Kentucky's Section 1115 Waiver• Reviewed the literature on the effects of the Old-Age Assistance (OAA) program• Reviewed the literature on the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)'s Prevention Quality Indicators (PQI)• Prepared reports to share findings with Dr. Reif

I was a research assistant for Mark Borgschulte, PhD. • Supervised data collection by undergraduates of salary information for economics professors in public universities• Delegated data collection taskI built a dataset and supervised undergraduates who were also assisting the project. The dataset is a novel linkage of economics professors at public universities with information on their salaries and social media accounts. The immediate objective of the research is to explore selection into and causal effects of social media engagement for researchers.

Daniel DeLaurentis, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics I applied the gravity model of trade to airline networks by estimating the Airline Connectivity Index (ACI) proposed by Arvis and Shepherd of the World Bank in order to independently confirm the findings of Dr. DeLaurentis et al. I further examined how well various estimators (Poisson, gamma, and negative binomial) fit the model statistically and whether or not the results made sense based on an ad hoc intuitive measure. I then produced choropleth "heat" maps at the country level for the European, Asian, and world networks.

Julian Romero, Assistant Professor of EconomicsI learned and wrote Python code to play two-player infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma games with two-state automata. I used this to verify the two-state automata conclusion for Dr. Romero's working paper, "Finite Automata in Undiscounted Repeated Games with Private Monitoring."
