I study how the design of information environments and digital technologies shapes competition, innovation, and strategic behavior.

This agenda is anchored in my work on digital platform markets—how platform design, privacy regulation, and platform-owner entry reshape the strategies of third-party firms—and extends to strategic communication in the airline industry and in political advertising.

My research frequently addresses antitrust and regulatory policy, and has been cited in congressional testimony and presented to economists at the US Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. I have a methodological interest in bringing unstructured data—text and video—into economic analysis, and frequently use natural language processing and machine learning techniques in my work.

A list of published and working papers is available on my Research page.

I am an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Business Economics at Cornell University's SC Johnson College of Business, a Distinguished Affiliate at CESifo, and co-chair of the National Association for Business Economics' annual Tech Economics Conference.

I received my M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Virginia, and my B.A. in Economics and Mathematics from the University of North Carolina.
