Welcome! I am a Senior Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, an associate faculty at the Toulouse School of Economics, and a research affiliate at the Center for Economic Policy Research.

My main field of research is public economics. My work focuses on inequality and fiscal policy, and examines the optimal design and the political economy of redistributive tax systems.

"There is scarcely any public matter that does not arise from a tax or end in one." Alexis de Tocqueville

"Il n'y a presque pas d'affaires publiques qui ne naissent d'une taxe ou qui n'aboutissent à une taxe."
