Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to my webpage. I have been a member of the Economics group in the Olin Business School at WashU since 2016. I am presently the Senior Associate Dean of Doctoral Programs, Area Chair of the Economics group, and Chair of the Senior Faculty. I teach in the executive MBA programs in Mumbai and Shanghai and have a doctoral-level class in Antitrust and Regulation every other year. My research areas are rooted in industrial organization and applied econometrics. I have applied IO tools to environmental, development, and health economics contexts. I presently am working on three main projects: a structural evaluation of the federally-facilitated ACA Marketplaces; estimating the implied value of statistical life revealed through the choices of first-time US Army re-enlistees; and the application of machine learning tools to allow for adaptive semiparametric estimation.
