Hi,

My name is Habtamu, and I am originally from Ethiopia. Since November 2022, I have been pursuing a PhD in Economics at the University of Siena, Italy. From November 2023 to June 2024, I was a visiting PhD research fellow at the Faculty of Business and Economics,  NMBU , Norway. Currently, I am working on my doctoral dissertation.
