I am a PhD Candidate in Food and Resource Economics at the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, University of British Columbia.
I am on the 2022-23 job market. Here is my CV.
My research spans environmental and development economics. My job market paper studies the threat to biodiversity from infrastructure expansion and the role of decentralized institutions for mitigating the tradeoff. My other work studies structural change and the organization of agriculture as well as the long-run health costs of coal power plants.
I have an MA Economics from UBC and a BA in Economics and Environmental Studies from McGill University. I was also an EPoD fellow at Harvard and a Research Associate at J-PAL South Asia.
