Assistant Professor of Economics, California State University, Los Angeles
Faculty Affiliate, Center for Health Economics and Policy Studies, San Diego State University

I study the intended and unintended consequences of public policies.

Using quasi-experimental methods, I focus on health, crime, education, social insurance, and rural broadband policy. My work has been published in the Journal of Human Resources, the Journal of Law and Economics, the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Telecommunications Policy, Injury Epidemiology, and Economics Bulletin. Some of this work has been cited in policy reports, including by the World Health Organization and the OECD, and my research has received support from the Social Security Administration.

At Cal State LA, I teach Principles of Microeconomics, Market Structure Economics, Economics of Health Care, and Applied Microeconomic Analysis, and I coordinate the Financial Wellness and Professional Development programs.
