I study how the organization of work affects inequality and instability. My projects have dealt with widening disparities between workplaces, payroll instability at subcontractors, and between-group variance decompositions. I work mostly with American and French administrative data — both contemporary and historical — and am interested in the methods we use to understand economic and social life. Here's my CV.
