I hold the David Edwin and Lucille Hartmann Davies Chair in the Economics Department at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and am a research associate at the NBER.
In my research, I am interested in the detection and measurement of market power, including questions related to spatial differentiation, collusion, vertical and horizontal mergers, price discrimination, and search frictions. I have studied a wide range of industries: energy, finance and banking, and online retailing.
PhD Student Office Hours: Wednesdays from 1:30 to 3:30. Book a meeting here.
