His research focuses on developing robust methods for estimating causal effects in non-experimental settings, measuring institutional quality in education and healthcare, and identifying systemic inequities in high-stakes decisions.
His research interests lie at the intersection of econometric methodology and real-world policy issues. He develops new tools for causal identification, particularly in contexts involving racial discrimination, school quality measurement, and judicial or administrative decision-making. His work emphasizes robustness to model misspecification and the use of instrumental variables, including innovations such as recentered and optimal formula instruments.
