I am a job market candidate, and will complete my PhD in Economics from UC Berkeley
in December 2012. 

The areas of my research interest are International Factor Movements, Demographic and
Labor Economics, Health Economics, Economic Development and Growth. 

My current research explores the effects of international migration on those left behind,
using the DV lottery migration for identification.
