About Me

Thank you for visiting my website. My main research area is international trade and economic development. In my research, I make use of methods from game theory and industrial organization to analyze topics such as trade policy-making in the political economy context, global value chains and the regulation of multinational firms. I am also interested in labor economics with a specific focus on the role labor market institutions play in response to the effects of globalization. I currently hold a joint position as an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics and Management and the School of International Studies at the University of Trento. Previously, I held positions at RMIT University, the University of Auckland, CERGE-EI, Prague, and the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey. I got my PhD from the University of Virginia (go Wahoos!) in 2006.

I am one of the co-organizers of the Online Australian Seminar in International economicS (OASIS). Further information about OASIS can be found here. 

In 2019, 14th Australasian Trade Workshop took place at RMIT University and I was the local organizer for this workshop. Further information about the workshop can be found here.
