PhD: Northwestern University, 1997.

Joined the faculty in 2000.

Fields: International Trade, Industrial Organization, and Public Economics.

My primary research interests are in international trade, foreign direct investment, and international agreements. In one group of papers I consider the effect of irreversibilities, trade disputes, and dispute settlement on economic integration and the evolution of trade and tax policies. In another group I look at how asymmetries between the participants affect the dynamics of taxes on trade and on foreign direct investment. In another research area I analyze the dynamics of country of origin reputations for quality and how trade policy can generate, and ameliorate, a bad reputation.  My secondary research interests are in public economics and in labor market discrimination.
