About Me
I’m a job market candidate in the UC Berkeley Department of Economics. My fields of interest are labor economics, applied econometrics, and economics of crime.
My current work, “Is There a Stepping-Stone Effect in Drug Use? Separating State Dependence from Unobserved Heterogeneity Within and Across Illicit Drugs,” develops a dynamic discrete choice model to study whether alcohol and marijuana have a stepping-stone effect on cocaine use, allowing for each drug to influence future use of other drugs.
Before coming to graduate school, I completed my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley in Economics and Applied Mathematics. I will be attending the AEA/ASSA meeting in Chicago in January 2012.
