I am an Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My research focuses on environmental risk. I am currently a coeditor at the American Economic Review: Insights (AER:I) and at Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy (EEPE). I am affiliated with the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), the E2e Project, and the CESifo Research Network.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have been actively involved in doing my part to help war-affected Ukrainians and to bring the war to a just end. Here are some suggestions for how you can help. A few easy-to-do actions are: (1) share this brief explainer of the war with others, (2) contribute to this fundraiser for humanitarian aid in Ukraine, and/or (3) buy one of our academics for Ukraine t-shirts to show your support.
If you’re an economist, check out the “Thriving in Economics” e-book series, which contains crowdsourced advice for aspiring PhD students (book 1), PhD students (book 2), and Assistant Professors+ (book 3). If you are a PhD student or advise PhD students, check out these virtual job market workshops recordings. All proceeds from each of these endeavors are used to provide humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
