About me
I am an associate professor in the Department of Economics at Brandeis University. I am also an affiliate at CESifo and a research fellow at the IZA@LISER Network. My research interests are in econometrics and applied microeconomics, with a particular focus on causal inference.
You can find further information about my research and other activities on this website. You are also welcome to visit my profiles at Google Scholar, IDEAS, and IZA@LISER.
A rough guide to pronouncing my last name is “Swatch-in-ski.”
