Research Statement

My research focuses on developing and testing theories of network and ecosystem design using field experiments that capture both rich micro-level data and important macro-level outcomes. Policy makers and scholars increasingly recognize that ecosystems are key drivers of innovation and economic growth. Underlying this insight is the idea that the networks that connect firms and people within an ecosystem magnify knowledge, talent, and competition. Building on this insight, the question I try to tackle with my research is the following: how can we improve ecosystems by designing better social networks between people and firms?
