Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at Jean Monnet University & the University of Lyon (France) and a research fellow at GATE Lyon-Saint-Etienne since October 2021.

Previously, I was a Visiting Ph.D. Student at the University of Oxford, conducting research at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School (INET Oxford) and the Department of Social Policy and Intervention.

My research interests extend to the measurement, causes, and consequences of economic inequality and, more broadly, to questions of redistribution and social policy. 

My doctoral research, funded by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, focuses on the measurement of income inequality and explores the methodological, normative, and public policy implications underlying the use of different measurement tools. To this end, I address it through a multidisciplinary approach that includes applied economics, philosophy and methodology of economics, and the history of economic thought.

I completed both an M.Res. and an M.A. in Economics and Social Sciences from Lumière University Lyon 2 (France), a one-year fellowship for the ‘Amartya Sen Program’ granted by the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), and a B.A. (five-year degree) in Economics from the National University of Cuyo (Argentina).
