I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Northwestern University, a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a Research Affiliate at the Centre for Economic Policy Research. I also serve as an Associate Editor at the Journal of the European Economic Association.  

My research interests are in macroeconomics. My work studies how climate change and the low-carbon transition affect economic activity and welfare; how disruptions in energy markets, supply chains, and trade propagate through the economy; and how heterogeneity and expectations shape macroeconomic dynamics and policy transmission. A unifying theme of my work is the identification of macroeconomic effects. While much empirical research exploits cross-sectional variation and absorbs common effects, I use time-series variation from financial markets, narrative records, and natural climate variation to recover this missing intercept and identify the aggregate impacts of major global shocks and policies.
