I am a macroeconomist and business school professor with research that spans growth, development, structural change, market structure, household finance, and consumer behavior. My research has been funded by the NSF, the PNC Center for Financial Services at Carnegie Mellon University, and LAEF at UCSB. 

I am also now officially running the academic side of operations at the Laboratory for Aggregate Economics and Finance at UCSB. Please email me if you have inquiries or questions about any of our conferences or other initiatives.
