RESEARCH

World population growth rates increased from 1800 to 1960, and have been declining for the past 60 years. My research is currently on the effect of declining population growth rates on long run macroeconomic performance. In the past I have done some work on Asian Americans and labor market discrimination, unions, Japan, and Brazil.
