About
I am an applied microeconomist with research interests in labor economics, education policy, cultural change, and the interplay between institutions, norms, and spatial dynamics. I completed my PhD in Economics at the University of São Paulo in 2023, and was awarded the Haralambos Simeonidis Best Dissertation Prize in 2024.
My research examines the impact of migration, labor market institutions, and social structures on economic outcomes across individuals and regions. I use empirical methods and rich administrative data to study questions at the intersection of mobility, inequality, and policy in Brazil and other developing contexts.
