I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Pittsburgh in the Economics Department. Broadly, my fields of research include Public Economics and Labor Economics with a focus on experimental methods. My research interests include competitive fundraising mechanisms for public goods and the interaction between private firms and non-profit organizations in fundraising campaigns. My current work explores theoretically and experimentally the incentives for businesses to contribute to fundraising campaigns in an attempt to determine how non-profit organizations should optimally solicit contributions.
