Research Interests

My research falls at the intersection of public economics, labor economics, and health economics. My current research focuses on occupational safety, in which I examine the link between occupational safety and firm performance, as well as the role of regulations and labor unions in determining occupational safety. I use quasi-experimental designs, the latest econometrics tools, and linked survey and administrative data to study these questions.
