International economics has long been a field with restricted entry. Entry has been restricted by such devices as “offer curves,” for which only the initiated know which is whose, but also by the sheer variety of models and effects that appear much more abundant than in other areas of applied economics. – by Robert Mundell

I am so lucky and proud to be perhaps the last generation of international economists to be trained and to have worked on all three areas: international macroeconomics, international finance, and international trade.

I am an expert in a wide range of tools in applied econometrics for predictive and cause-and-effect types of questions using various data types, including spatial panel, longitudinal data, and time series.

I am interested in collecting and constructing my own data, often being the first in specific domains, to best answer the questions at hand.

Although frameworks like propensity score matching, staggered diff-in-diffs, event studies, and synthetic controls are in my arsenal, I am interested in deeply understanding the nature of the problem and discovering natural experiments in observational data to understand causes and effects.
