Work in Progress

• Crowdsourcing Information (with Shawn Cole) — a field experiment with coffee farmers in Karnataka, India, studying the incentives behind sharing information and whether crowdsourced information can improve farmers' decisions and market outcomes.
• Bankruptcy and Innovation — how innovative firms manage and dispose of their patent portfolios in bankruptcy. Using U.S. public firms that filed for Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 while holding patents, I link bankruptcy records to USPTO patent data and court filings to trace what happens to intellectual property when firms fail.
• Drone Procurement in Ukraine — the industrial organization of Ukraine's wartime market for unmanned aerial vehicles. Drawing on Prozorro public-procurement records (2022–2026), I study how the drone sector has scaled and organized under wartime conditions.

Case Studies

• Blockchain and Agentic AI at Tala (with Shawn Cole) — Harvard Business School case study (in progress).
