I am currently an Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. My current research agenda includes estimating the short- and long-run health effects of natural disasters; understanding individuals’ and families’ location choices; improving measures of natural disaster damage; estimating the consequences of forgone health care; and understanding the role that the news media plays in post-disaster charitable giving.

If you’re interested in joining my research team, please send an introduction and resume to deryugeT~[Qs}&L5cUEp^in@ill/(W+76w_mF’BQx$3inois.edu.

I am also a co-editor at the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (JAERE) and at Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy (EEPE). I also serve on the board of editors of American Economic Journal: Economic Policy (AEJ: Policy).

I am affiliated with the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), the E2e Project, and the CESifo Research Network.
