Welcome, here are some projects of mine

This site is relatively new. The only pages that are populated as of the writing of this message are Economic History and Data. My only papers are on the Economic History page.

Economic History

Here are some other projects of mine:

  1. Economics at the New School - 2024.08.26 Draft

This first project is a manuscript of narrative non-fiction focused on the development of economic theory and practice in the United States and Germany. The manuscript is far from complete, but as it stands is 121 good pages about the history of economic thought told through the lives and times of the economists who founded the New School for Social Research in New York City and its Graduate Faculty.

  1. HMDA Explore Shiny Application

Note: Please allow the Shiny Application a minute to load up. Once the application is launched, it runs quite quickly.

HMDA Explore Shiny Code

This Shiny application is aimed at making accessible the insights in the loan data published as a result of the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. The data is aggregated by Financial Institution and County. The idea is that local stakeholders and municipal officials could use real-time information about bank lending activities in their localities.

The data used in the above Shiny application are processed using the code at the link below:

HMDA Data Processing Code (with Data)

Fair warning on the HMDA Data Processing - this is not a perfect replication package, so you will need to do some adjustment with your own filepaths if you run the code. Also, these files are large, so a laptop may not have the RAM necessary to run the code to process the data.

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions!
