I am an economist interested in empirical analysis and research. I have been working at the intersection of micro and macroeconomics, with the aim to provide a more granular picture for macroeconomic analysis and to contribute to public policy.
I work at the OECD, in Paris, since 2011, currently as Deputy Head of Division and Senior Economist in the Structural Policy Research Division of the Economics Department. I focus mainly on productivity, digital technologies and other structural issues related to economic growth. My previous work experience includes the Research Department of the International Monetary Fund and the Central Bank of Hungary.
I completed my PhD and MPhil degrees in Economics at the Tinbergen Institute (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) and an MSc in Economics from Corvinus University (Budapest, Hungary).
