I am an applied microeconomist with a special interest in cities. My work focuses on public economics, city infrastructure, urban productivity, and housing policy and markets. My research involves studying the factors that contribute to the growth or decline of cities in both developed and developing economies and the impact of urban policies.

I teach courses on infrastructure development of sustainable cities, real estate and infrastructure finance.

I work on development effectiveness and evaluation of urban projects.

My work has been cited by outlets like NPR, The Economist, The Washington Post, Cnn. I have served as a witness at Senate hearings regarding my work on competition in housing markets. I am also an investigator at BmoreCollab, a business lab that supports inclusive prosperity.

I discuss city productivity, housing markets and policy, and methods at @leqonomics.

Since 2021, I co-direct the LACEA urban economics network.
