Visiting Assistant Professor of Instruction
I am an applied economist and a visiting professor of instruction at the University of South Florida. My research insterests include industrial organization, public policy, the gig economy, and social and economic networks. By working with high-frequency trip data, I’ve contributed significantly to the impact study of a naturally-recognized minimum pay rule (i.e. the New York City Driver Pay Rule). My current projects include the study of pricing strategy of Uber and Lyft and second-phase evaluation of the NYC Driver Pay Rule.
