Research

My research interests are in labour economics. I am interested in both theoretical and empirical aspects of labour market models. My recent research focuses on labour reallocation, the public-private pay gap, earnings dynamics and firing taxes. My ongoing research is on search and matching models with flexible work arrangements, employment protection legislation, and on household labour supply. Below is a list of my completed papers and work in progress.
