His research spans macroeconomics, financial economics, and economic growth, with a strong emphasis on automation, productivity, technology adoption, tax policy, and financial stability. His work investigates how technological change affects labor markets and income distribution, how fiscal and monetary policies influence inflation and innovation, and how financial systems can be designed to mitigate crises. He has published in leading journals such as the Review of Economic Studies, American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics, and Journal of International Economics.

The themes in his recent publications reveal a consistent focus on structural economic transformations—particularly those driven by technology and policy. His research uses both theoretical modeling and empirical analysis to understand business cycle dynamics, the impact of tax changes, and the efficiency of financial markets. A recurring thread is the role of heterogeneity across firms in shaping aggregate outcomes, especially in the context of AI and automation adoption.
