Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics and the Center for Public Policy Research in the Murphy Institute at Tulane University​, as well as a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).

 

My recent work focuses on (i) the effects of elections on social and political coordination and (ii) the effects of migration on culture and politics, both in theoretical perspective and in the context of United States economic history.

​

My work has been published in leading academic journals, such as the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Journal of Public Economics, and the Economic Journal.

​

My research has been funded through generous grants made by the National Science Foundation and the Russell Sage Foundation.
