I am an economist specializing in empirical industrial organization and information economics. My research examines how the commercialization of data and AI technologies shapes information asymmetry (between firms and consumers, and across firms) and the implications for competition, contracting, and consumer welfare.

I focus on applications in the insurance and digital platform sectors. My methods combine economic theory with causal inference, leveraging administrative datasets, structural econometrics, field experiments, and modern computation.
