Research

My current research explores two themes in  international economics: the impact of domestic (e.g. environmental,  financial, & intellectual property reform) or trade regulation (e.g.  tariffs, export promotion) on firm performance and resource allocation;  and the role of data sparcity in the estimation of spatial models of  international trade. Recent working papers and work-in-progress is listed below.
