Assistant Professor of Finance and Business Economics
USC Marshall School of Business Research Interests: Labor and Finance, Firm Dynamics, Asset Pricing, Corporate Finance, AI and Big Data My research is at the intersection of finance and labor economics. My work focuses on integrating the finance literature with labor economics to provide a more comprehensive understanding of firms' decision-making. I have studied questions central to recent corporate concerns, including firms' adoption of automation and AI in the workplace, responses to government job-creation stimulus, competition for key talent, and reactions to regulatory burdens. My approach combines careful empirical designs and measurements, utilizing high-quality microdata alongside economic theory, to derive implications for firm performance, asset pricing, and policy making.
