I am an associate professor of finance at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research studies how financial institutions create safe, money-like assets by making risky investments and how this exposes the financial system to crises. My research examines both how financial regulation can prevent financial crises and how fiscal and monetary stimulus can mitigate the recessions that occur after crises.
My research applies a range of methods from empirical asset pricing, industrial organization, macroeconomics, and financial intermediation theory with a specific focus on understanding how safe asset creation by financial institutions matters both for financial crises and for business cycles more broadly.
