Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics and the Center for Public Policy Research in the Murphy Institute at Tulane University.

​

My research lies at the intersection of political economy, economic geography, and public economics. My topics of interest include migration, conflict, and culture, in both historical and theoretical perspective.

 

Currently, I am interested in the interplay between culture and institutions in U.S. economic history, with an emphasis on racial violence and exclusion.

​

My work has been published in academic journals such as the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Journal of Public Economics, and the Economic Journal.
