SOCIAL IMPACT

Alongside my peer-reviewed research, I have been actively engaged in policy-oriented analysis and public dissemination of research findings. Through macroeconomic forecasting reports and empirical studies on household consumption—particularly during the COVID-19 period—I translated quantitative research into accessible policy analysis for broader audiences. These outputs were widely disseminated through national and regional media and contributed to public discussion on consumption policy and economic recovery.
