I am currently a postdoctoral associate at the Yale School of the Environment. My research studies spatial heterogeneity in the effects of climate change with a focus on how the effects climate change and energy policy will depend on variation in intrinsic local characteristics as well as the composition of the population that lives there. I am most interested in modeling how migration will serve as a channel for adaptation to climate, and how the dynamics will change based on the relative size of effects on local incomes and barriers to adjustment. Prior to my time as a graduate student, I worked as a research economist for two years at the Council of Economic Advisers in Washington, D.C. on energy and trade. I hold a B.A. from Brandeis University in Economics and Physics.

Primary Research Topics: Climate macroeconomics, energy and natural resources, environmental economics, discrete choice models
