The Virtual Municipal Finance Workshop (co-organized with Dermot Murphy and Pengjie Gao) is back for the Spring 2024 semester!! The schedule and papers are available at https://www.muni-workshop.com. You can also find all papers from the earlier versions of the workshop since 2020. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to get involved.
I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Wharton School. I research issues surrounding public finance, corporate and personal income taxation, and financial regulation. My research often uses quasi-experimental variation to answer questions with relevance for designing efficient fiscal and regulatory policy. I am particularly interested in how public entities raise funds–primarily through issuing bonds or raising taxes–and how those mechanisms affect businesses, consumers, investors, and workers.
I am a graduate of Duke University with both an MA and PhD in Economics. I earned a BS in Economics at Ohio University in the Honors Tutorial College. Before grad school, I worked as a Tax Analysis Professional 1 in the Ohio Department of Taxation and as a Research Associate with the Center for College Affordability and Productivity.
