PhD candidate in Economics

University of California, Los Angeles

I am a 6th year PhD student in economics at UCLA. I am on the job market in 2024-2025.

My job market paper, Aggregating Distortions in Networks with Multi-Product Firms examines how multi-product firms affect resource misallocation and aggregate TFP growth, using comprehensive Chilean firm-to-firm transaction data.

Prior to UCLA, I worked as an economist at the Bank of Japan, where I developed macroeconomic models for monetary policy meetings. In the summer of 2024, I was a dissertation fellow at the Federal Reserve Board.
