I study credit markets under Assistant Professor Gregory Weitzner of McGill University.
Paper #1
"Bank Information Production Over the Business Cycle"
Shows that information quality improves as economic conditions deteriorate
I worked on the theoretical framework for the empirical portion, showing how our hypothesis holds at equilibrium
Accepted into the Review of Economic Studies, a Top Five economics journal.
Paper #2
"Short-Term Debt Information Acquisition"
This paper provides a theoretical rationalization for margin loans: they prevent lenders from producing too much information about borrowers' assets by forcing liquidation prior to maturity following a negative shock
I helped show that the hypothesized properties hold at equilibrium and proofread for mathematical/logical errors
Recieved a "Revise and Resubmit" from the Journal of Monetary Economics
