Economist. On the 2026–27 job market.

I am an economist working in international macroeconomics, trade, and development. My research examines how developments in world markets shape economic activity in emerging and developing economies, and how fiscal and monetary policy can respond and support growth. A second strand of my research asks why trade within low-income regions remains limited and how export diversification and better infrastructure could expand it.

I received my Ph.D. in economics from the University of Notre Dame and am on the 2026–27 job market. My job market paper, “Commodity Prices and the Terms-of-Trade Disconnect,” estimates how much commodity-price shocks contribute to business-cycle fluctuations in emerging and developing economies.
