My teaching and research sit at the intersection of macroeconomics, financial economics, and corporate finance.  

My main dissertation chapter (pdf) focuses on business relationships in the supply chain, and how firms rely on each other for short-term credit and inputs. It demonstrates the macroeconomic significance of these relationships by showing the decline in output resulting from temporary Covid-19 interruptions to business relationships. 

My teaching philosophy is to treat all students as budding economists and to develop their economic intuition by communicating economic ideas in words and in numbers.

My other areas of interest include personal finance, incomplete financial markets, mergers & acquisitions, and entrepreneurial finance.
