I conduct research in labour economics and (historical) political economy.

In labour economics, my work focuses on topics such as the design of unemployment benefits, the determinants of immigrants’ language skills, and the impact of immigration on the labour market outcomes of immigrants. These topics are explored through both theoretical modelling and empirical analysis.

In (historical) political economy, I develop theoretical models to examine phenomena such as political correctness, nation-building through education in 19th-century Europe or during colonisation, and the organisation of education in multilingual societies.
