I study how the organization of work shapes inequality and instability. My projects have dealt with widening disparities between workplaces, payroll instability at subcontractors, and between-group variance decompositions. I work mostly with American and French administrative data—both contemporary and historical—and am interested in the methods we use to understand economic and social life.
