I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at Yale School of Management. I received my PhD from the Economics Department at Columbia University.
My research explores topics in real estate, corporate finance, and macro-finance.
I study issues related to the regulation of real estate markets and where firms choose to locate their operations in response to local tax and financing incentives. My work also touches on household finance and climate finance aspects of property investment, including climate-proofing buildings and green home energy adoption.
​
My research has been featured in national news outlets, including CNBC and Newsweek, and has informed national policy through HUD and SCOTUS briefs.
