I am a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at Yale. I received my Master’s in Chinese Political Economy from the School of Global Policy and Strategy at UC San Diego, and my BA from the joint program in Business Administration and East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My research focuses on elite politics and elite speech, local governments, and politics and financial markets. Methodologically, I develop computational social science tools, especially text-as-data approaches using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), to measure political elite behavior and political speech. A major part of my research agenda examines municipal bond markets in the United States and China. I also work on side projects on other local-government economic outcomes, including pollution and growth, and on other markets such as prediction markets.
