About: I am an economist who specializes in understanding how individuals and communities use credit and other financial products. I am the author of The Pandemic Paradox: How the COVID Crisis Made Americans More Financially Secure from Princeton University Press.
My research also examines how economies grow and develop in the long term and the effects of migration in both India and the United States. My work has appeared in the Review of Economics and Statistics, the Journal of Development Economics, and the Journal of Monetary Economics among others journals.
I am a senior economist at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau where I led the development of the Making Ends Survey. Before coming to the Bureau, I was an assistant professor of economics and international studies at Boston College. I received my Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2009.
