I am an applied theorist with a focus on Information Economics and Behavioral Economics. Using a combination of theory, empirical and experimental methods, my research has centered on several areas: 1) informational asymmetries and enforcement in credit and asset markets, 2) the interplay between beliefs, information and individual preferences; and 3) coordination problems in heterogeneous economies. My work provides insights phenomena as credit crunches; economic fragility and regime change; the effect of technological progress in credit markets; asset pricing anomalies; narrative formation; and information-driven choice under risk and uncertainty. I got my PhD in Economics at the University of California-San Diego in 2007. Prior to joining Drexel in 2015, I was an assistant professor in economics at UW-Madison from 2007 to 2015.
