Biography

I am a Senior Financial Economist at Federal Deposit and Insurance Corporation (FDIC). My primary research interests include macroeconomics, behavioral economics, and economic development. Some of my recent work has focused on dynamics of durable goods spending in the U.S., overconfidence and ability, normative economic analysis with endogenous preferences, living arrangement choices of young adults in the U.S, state policy and housing market dynamics, and international housing price cycles.
