Job Market Paper: Linking Firm Size and Skill Composition: Theory and Evidence from Australia (Nov 19, 2024)

I am a PhD Candidate in the Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics at the University of Chicago on the Job Market during the 2024 - 2025 academic year. My primary research fields are macroeconomics, labor, and spatial economics, with a focus on understanding firm and worker dynamics. My research agenda addresses how the distributions of worker skill and firm technology lead to welfare inequality in the macroeconomy. To that end, I develop new models of labor markets and use microdata to quantify how workers match to firms, and how this matching impacts earnings.
