My research focuses on the interaction between labor markets, household decisions, and economic policy. Recent projects examine how taxation and social insurance affect households, how economic risks are shared within families, and how labor market power shapes the effects of fiscal policy.
My work combines theoretical modeling and quantitative analysis with empirical evidence. Below, you can find my recent working papers and publications in peer-reviewed journals.
