I am currently a PhD student at Princeton University, having started my study here in Fall 2004. My current work centers on understanding how financial shocks feed into the real economy, with special attention to cross sectional differences in industry and firm level performance. From an applied theory perspective, I am particularly interested in the role of credit constraints in propagating and amplifying these shocks.
