I'm a Economist and Monetary Advisor at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. I'm also a member of the advisory board for the Carnegie-Rochester-NYU Conference on Public Policy, associate editor for the International Economic Review, and involved with Y-Rise. Prior to joining the Minneapolis Fed, I was a Professor of Economics and the William R. Berkley Term Professor of Economics and Business at New York University, Leonard N. Stern School of Business.
My research focuses on international trade, macroeconomics, development, and their intersection. I have taught macroeconomics, international economics, and data analysis using Python for undergraduates, MBAs, PhD students. I am also the developer of www.tradewartracker.com that is a live, up-to-date website visually displaying trade data with open access to the data and code behind the presentation.
My path has been anything but traditional. I was born in El Paso, Texas and then raised in Anchorage, Alaska. I spent most of my childhood playing ice hockey which eventually took me to Northfield Mount Hermon School in western Massachusetts. I remained on the east coast populating catholic colleges and universities for the next 6 years. I attended Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire and then Fordham University in the Bronx, New York. I left the Bronx for the University of Iowa and completed my Phd in economics under the supervision of B.Ravikumar and Ray Riezman. Outside of economics, I'm married to the amazing Romina Mazzoni.
