Research Interests:
I am a behavioral macroeconomist interested in the application of large scale heterogeneous agent models to address questions related to inequality and investment in higher education. My current research agenda focuses on the distributional consequences of belief and preference heterogeneity in a general equilibrium environment. I am also interested in more empirical aspects of wealth inequality and the distribution of opportunity for those with a history of justice involvement.
