I am based in New York, where I work as a consultant and serve as adjunct faculty at Columbia University, NYU, and the University of Johannesburg. My work spans applied research, policy analysis, tech regulation, and teaching, with a broad focus on understanding how institutions shape economic outcomes and welfare.
I use this space to host some of my research, book projects, teaching materials, and experimental apps and tools.
- Policy mapping: Analyzing South African parliamentary committee meetings to identify priorities in my SA Policy Space repository.
- Digital History: Creating a data rich economic history of Apartheid in South Africa.
- Budget Analysis: Developing a Fiscal Policy Calculator to model the impacts of tax and spending changes on the deficit in the US.
- Writing: Drafting textbooks on Economic Coercion, The American Economy, among a dozen others.
