RESEARCH OVERVIEW
I am an applied microeconomist with a focus on agricultural and environmental issues. My research seeks to better understand the interplay between agriculture and the environment, both in the US and China, with a focus on the livestock industry. My work exploits new identification strategies such as synthetic difference-in-differences, and large-scale datasets such as Zillow’s nationwide residential housing transactions data.
