Lawrence F. Katz

from that point and I focused on public economics with Marty as my dissertation advisor.

Along with Gary Chamberlain prominent econometrician and Larry Katz, who's my current colleague in labor economics.

and wrote a dissertation focused on risk and unemployment insurance and how we should think about the design of unemployment insurance programs when people face risk and how you measure that risk and how it depends upon things like housing commitments and so on.

So that was what some of my early work was focused on.
