I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Public & International Affairs at Dalhousie University, with a cross-appointment at the Schulich School of Law. My research primarily focuses on Applied Empirical Microeconomics (principally Law and Economics, Labour Economics, Health Economics, Family Economics, Economic History), applying empirical and theoretical economic analysis to policy-relevant issues. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern University and a J.D. from the University of Toronto. I am also a lawyer in good standing (Law Society of Ontario) and have held visiting appointments at numerous international institutions, including UC Berkeley and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
