Welcome!

I am a Doctor (Ph.D.) in Economics from Jean Monnet University and the University of Lyon (France), affiliated with GATE Lyon-Saint-Etienne since October 2021.

In 2024, I was a Visiting Ph.D. Student at the University of Oxford, where I conducted research at the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School (INET Oxford) and the Department of Social Policy and Intervention.

My research interests include the measurement, causes, and consequences of economic inequality, as well as broader questions related to redistribution and social policy.

My doctoral research—funded by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research—focused on the measurement of income inequality and explored the methodological, normative, and public policy implications of using different measurement tools. I examined it through a multidisciplinary lens that combines applied economics, the philosophy and methodology of economics, and the history of economic thought.

I completed both an M.Res. and an M.A. in Economics and Social Sciences from Lumière University Lyon 2 (France), a one-year fellowship for the ‘Amartya Sen Program’ granted by the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), and a B.A. (five-year degree) in Economics from the National University of Cuyo (Argentina).
