Routing Data as a Measure of Internet Access
Working Paper, 2019
I propose a pair of new measures of Internet access which can be computed using minimal computational resources, across large geographic areas, from publicly-available data which describe how information is routed across the Internet. These measures can also be computed at relatively fine levels of detail. I then demonstrate empirically that these measures possess similar explanatory power when compared to measures previously used in the literature, and that the two measures capture largely distinct aspects of Internet access.

Extracting the Costs of International Internet Communication
Working Paper, 2021
A large and increasing share of communication now takes place by Internet, but due to the decentralized nature of the Internet, it is difficult to measure the bilateral costs of Internet communication. In this paper, I develop a model to extract an index of the costs of international Internet communication, based on the model of physical transportation of goods from Allen and Arkolakis (2014). This model enables me to extract these costs using data which is, for the most part, publicly available. I then employ these extracted costs in a gravity model of trade, finding that different economic sectors react heterogeneously to changes in communication costs. Aspects of this heterogeneity in trade of goods resemble results from Keller and Yeaple (2013), while the heterogeneity I observe in trade of services appears to be a novel result.

EC 327: Introduction to Game Theory
Undergraduate course, University of Oregon, Department of Economics, 2019
The first part of this class introduces students to basic strategic- and extensive-form games and the common methods for finding their Nash equilibria. The second half of this class expands on this foundation and explores ways that these techniques can be applied to situations including voting, repeated interactions, and cooperative efforts. Throughout the course, I use in-class activities to give students opportunities to gain intuition about the material we cover. Students are expected to complete the course with the ability to construct a simple model of many strategic interactions they may encounter.
EC 427: Games and Decisions
Undergraduate course, University of Oregon, Department of Economics, 2020
This class is a more advanced version of my EC 327 class. The first half of the course covers much the same material as the first half of EC 327, at a faster pace and placing a heavier emphasis on the mathematical underpinnings of game theory. The second half addresses topics such as asymmetric information, Bayesian Nash equilibria, beliefs, signaling and screening. Students are expected to complete the course with a solid understanding of game theory, enabling them to form more sophisticated models of strategic interactions; this understanding is also intended to be a solid foundation for students interested in pursuing graduate degrees in economics.
EC 201: Introductory Microeconomics
Undergraduate course, University of Oregon, Department of Economics, 2021
This class introduces students to the basic approach used by economists to analyze human behavior, focusing on the basic supply-and-demand model. Students are expected to finish the course with a working knowledge of basic economic concepts, which they can then use to form simple models for much of the human behavior we observe in the world.
