About me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Toronto, and work at the intersection of macro, finance and industrial organization. I have a joint PhD in Economics and Finance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

My primary research agenda examines various frictions associated with intangible (idea-based) assets and how they shape investment, firm dynamics and economic aggregates. Recent applications include studies on the interaction of inter-firm patent litigation activity and aggregate innovation, public CEO compensation, firm cash holdings and IPO decisions. Other on-going research includes work on interbank markets, monetary policy implementation and frictions in housing markets.

My CV is available here, and details on my research can be found here.
