Welcome! I am the Class of 1965 Assistant Professor at Berkeley Law School.
My work focuses on the law and economics of households and small businesses. I use empirical methods to illuminate how law can improve the lives of ordinary people. My research has been published in venues such as the Michigan Law Review, California Law Review, Journal of Finance, and Econometrica. My work has been cited by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. I teach courses on contracts, financial regulation, corporate finance, and consumer law and economic justice. Prior to joining Berkeley Law in 2019, I was a Bigelow Fellow and NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago. I have a PhD in Economics from MIT and a JD from Yale.
