Job Market Paper: Unintended Environmental Cost of Monetary Tightening: The Federal Reserve and Pollution [Draft]

I use the big-data approach to study macroeconomics, development economics, and green finance. In my projects, I apply cutting-edge computational tools to big geospatial data to map economic activities where traditional data are limited. This approach provides micro-foundations for macroeconomics studies. It helps draw policy implications on important contemporary economic issues, such as inequality, migration, education, urbanization, international trade, and climate change.

My current research projects focus on:

• Stabilization Policies, clean energy investment, and air pollution
• Macroeconomic implications of urban expansion and the construction sector
• Household heterogeneity with a focus on education attainments and income inequality
