Research Areas

My research interests lie broadly on the social and distributional consequences of firm and government policy, with a particular interest in the consumer credit market as an empirical setting. My research utilizes a range of data sources from various domains to understand how consumer data, fairness constraints, and consumers’ privacy preferences shape credit market outcomes.
