Welcome to my website! I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics.
My research interests are in macroeconomics and development, with a particular focus on the study of cross-country income differences.
It revolves around two unique datasets that I built. The first dataset harmonizes labor force data, the second one time-use data, both cover many countries at all stages of development. The first dataset provides detailed individual-level information for 500 Mio individuals across 115 countries. The second dataset consists of 7 Mio 24-hour diaries of individuals in 50 countries.
In previous work, I have examined the redistributive impacts of fiscal and monetary policies in high-income countries and studied the life-cycle pattern of household stock market participation using Norwegian administrative data.
Here is my CV.
