Welcome!

I’m a fifth-year PhD student in Economics at TSE. In September I will join CEMFI in Madrid as a postdoctoral researcher before joining Tilburg University’s Economics department as an Assistant Professor in 2025.

I am a macroeconomist with broad research interests in Macro Development, including Firm Dynamics & Growth, Political Economy, and Inequality. My research is particularly interested in (1) the dynamics of growth in developing economies and (2) how the state and private sector interact over the course of development. To study this, I use a combination of micro data and structural (macro-)economic models. Check out my research statement for more information.
