Welcome!

I am a macroeconomist interested in how health shocks and incomplete insurance markets shape household saving, wealth inequality, and welfare. Methodologically, I combine economic theory, household survey data, and quantitative macroeconomic models. My research focuses on why precautionary saving remains active at the top of the wealth distribution and whether households across the wealth distribution save optimally in response to health shocks.

For a fuller overview of my research agenda, please see my research statement.
