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.

NEW: Tyler Cowen wrote about my forthcoming AER:Insights 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.)
