I specialize in estimating dynamic causal effects of aggregate political units. I have a preference for modular estimators that easily render for diagnostics. I design and implement the methods and apply to a wide range of treatment settings including democratization and economic liberalization. I also have specific policy interests in understanding and minimizing displacement impacts of wildfires including on schooling and wildfire insurance and the reforming the permitting process around nuclear energy.
