Research Agenda

Overarching

Theme

As an applied macroeconomist, I have worked on a wide range of topics. These topics

share a common objective: to improve our understanding of aggregate economic

outcomes by developing better measures of the underlying forces that drive them.

My research combines economic theory, data, and measurement to uncover the

mechanisms behind movements in broad indicators such as employment, output,

wages, and prices.

I. Labor

market

dynamics

How can we use existing data and construct new data to better understand the

dynamics of labor markets in the U.S. and around the world? How can these data be

applied to theoretical models of the labor market? This is important to understand

the cyclical behavior of the unemployment rate and wages, medium-run movements

in participation and the employment-to-population ratio, and workers’ life-time

career proﬁles.

II. Growth

and

technology

adoption

In countries with lower standards of living people tend to use older (outdated)

technologies. How far are countries behind the technological frontier? What part of

the diﬀerences in per capita GDP across countries do these technology adoption

lags account for? What is holding countries back? What is the cost to workers of

the introduction of new technologies and how do these costs slow down technology

adoption and economic development?

III. Price

setting and

inﬂation

How do the price-setting decisions of ﬁrms aﬀect the inﬂation rate that we measure?

How is inﬂation inﬂuenced by monetary policy decisions and by external shocks to

ﬁrms’ cost structures? How can we improve our measures of inﬂation to better

capture the introduction of new and better products?
