Biography
I am a Ph.D. candidate in economics at the University of California, Davis, and I am on the 2026-2027 academic job market. My research focuses on international economics, macroeconomics, and geoeconomics.
My job market paper examines the relationship between U.S. financial sanctions and currency choice in international trade. Combining empirical evidence with a model of firms’ invoicing decisions, I study how the risk of losing access to dollar-linked credit can encourage firms to switch invoicing currencies.
I also use retail scanner and household purchase data to study how firms and consumers respond to taxes and health risks, with an interest in the implications for demand persistence and pricing behavior.
