I'm a Lecturer (~Assistant Professor) in Economics at the University of Essex. I received my PhD from Brown University in 2020.
I'm a labo(u)r and health economist. Much of my research focuses on the health and human capital of Americans and innovation.
NEWS:
My paper The Broad Decline in Health and Human Capital of Americans Born after 1947 was recently published as the lead article of American Economic Review: Insights. And Figure 1 was an American Economic Association "Featured Chart", with a short write-up by Tyler Smith, here.
Tyler Cowen previously wrote about the paper at Marginal Revolution and Bloomberg Opinion.
(Pedantically: my paper doesn't claim to explain the productivity stagnation, but it does propose a unified theory for a lot of other declines. The human capital decline I document also could plausibly explain a portion of the productivity stagnation, but I don't study this.)
