welcome

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education – Economics Institute (CERGE-EI) in Prague, Czech Republic. Since January 2025, I have been a lecturer at the University of Economics in Bratislava (Department of Economic Policy), following my previous role as a visiting lecturer at the same institution.

I am an applied economist with a focus on long-term economic development, economic history, and geographical economics.

Specifically, I examine the role of the state in shaping pre-industrial development.
