Research Interests:

My dissertation consists of three papers that explore different aspects of racial discrimination in criminal justice for murder cases. I use micro-econometric techniques on survey data and long panels to investigate the magnitude of racial discrimination in case processing, the stages within case processing where discrimination arises, and the evolution of discrimination in arrests.

Areas of Interest:

Empirical Microeconomics (survey and panel micro-data analysis with an emphasis on policy-making)

Discrimination in the Justice System

Innovation and Intellectual Property

Institutional Economics (evolution of endogenous normative systems and their application to development issues in the absence of established legal systems and markets)

Keywords:

Discrimination • Innovation • Intellectual Property • Institutional Economics • Microeconometrics (Panel and Survey Data)
