Economics and Ceramic Arts.

I’m an academic economist and ceramic artist living in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

When I wear my economist hat, I am associate professor of economics at Case Western Reserve University. I trained as an economist at Harvard University where I received a PhD in 2007. I have conducted research on diverse topics including automation, language, religion, entrepreneurship, and social status. My work appears in leading publications including the Quarterly Journal of Economics, Management Science, The Economic Journal, and the Review of Economics and Statistics.

My ceramics practice focuses on handbuilding functional vessels. I began this practice in 2023 and am dedicated to improving my skills and design sense. I am a member of the Brick Ceramic + Design studio.
