Granular games with $p$-liquid atomic masses

Working paper

Countably heterogeneous aggregate-taking games with $\ell^p$-summable player masses for $0<p<1$. A uniform $\ell^p$ restriction on mixed strategies yields a bounded aggregation operator; conditional on the aggregate, purification is without loss, and finite-player existence follows by Kakutani.

Regulation-adjusted AI exposure: an occupation-level index for the United States

Working paper

Constructs a six-digit SOC exposure index by combining an ensemble technical-exposure score with occupation-industry regulatory incidence, licensing, and time-varying policy uncertainty. A task-based production model identifies regulation as a log-linear wedge between technically feasible automation and realized displacement; validation uses post-2022 employment outcomes and clustered inference.

Tearing the paper ceiling for whom? The hiring and wage effects of removing degree requirements in state government

Work in progress

Uses staggered state executive orders from 2022–2026 to identify the worker-side effects of degree de-gating. A statistical-discrimination model with monopsonistic wage posting separates screening from rent extraction; group-time average treatment effects are estimated with Callaway–Sant'Anna difference-in-differences on ACS and QWI microdata.
