I am a macroeconomist and business school professor with research that spans growth, technological development, structural change, market structure, household finance, and consumer behavior. Quantitatively, I am skilled at applying advanced methods, including those in custom particle filtration, Bayesian statistics, machine learning, and quantitative neural network methods to solve computationally intensive problems. My research has been funded by the NSF, the PNC Center for Financial Services at Carnegie Mellon University, and LAEF at UCSB. 

I am now officially running the academic side of operations at the Laboratory for Aggregate Economics and Finance at UCSB. Please email me if you have inquiries or questions about any of our conferences or other initiatives.
