About me

Welcome to my website! I am an Assistant Professor of Economics and Data Analytics in the Campbell School of Business at Berry College. I received my PhD in Economics from West Virginia University in 2023.

My research focuses on urban economics and applied public policy, with a particular interest in housing markets and the effects of local policy. I use causal inference methods to study how changes in housing regulation, land-use policy, short-term rental regulation, and other local policies affect housing affordability and economic activity in cities.

Much of my recent work focuses on housing and urban regulation. In a paper published in the Journal of Regional Science, my coauthors and I study the effects of the Minneapolis 2040 Plan, which eliminated single-family-only zoning throughout the city, on house prices. In ongoing work currently under review at Regional Science and Urban Economics, I examine whether New York City’s Local Law 18, which sharply restricted short-term rentals, affected long-term rents. My other research on cities has examined the effects of short-term rental restrictions on the hotel industry and place-based policies on violent crime.

At Berry, I teach courses in economics, business statistics, data analytics, and causal inference. I have helped develop Berry’s Data Analytics major and designed and taught Intermediate Data Analytics and Causal Inference. My teaching emphasizes the application of economic reasoning, statistical programming, and modern empirical methods to real-world questions.
