received a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2010. His research primarily focuses on the functioning of markets with information asymmetries. His dissertation studied the effects of the diffusion of neonatal intensive care units on infant treatment and health outcomes, and in other work he has examined how consumers respond to product recalls and the effects of information asymmetries in online peer-to-peer lending markets. As a scholar, he is exploring the determinants of hospital technology adoption and the organization of hospital transfer networks. After the Program, he will assume his position as an assistant professor at Indiana University's School of Public and Environmental Affairs.
