I am an associate professor of economics at UC San Diego, where I teach courses on health economics and public finance. My research focuses on the U.S. health sector, the minimum wage, and the finances of state and local governments.
This website is supported in part by Emergent Ventures. My blog aims to comment on developments in the U.S. economy, provide in-depth analyses of issues in my areas of expertise, and discuss trends in applied economics research.
