Hi!
I am an applied economist interested in economic history, gender and demography, labor economics, and political economy. My research explores how historical institutions, demographic structures, and cultural norms shape long-run economic and social outcomes.
I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Ottawa in 2021. Much of my work uses historical and demographic data to study topics such as gender norms, inheritance institutions, fertility, and labor market outcomes.
I am a research affiliate at Barcelona School of Economics (BSE); Center for the Study of Organizations and Decisions in Economics (CODE); RFBerlin; CESifo; Global Labor Organization (GLO) and a contributing scholar at the Center for Growth and Opportunity (Utah State University). I am also a research scientist at the Institute for Replication (I4R), a member in the Expert Group on Fertility in Belgium (FNRS) and co-organizer of the Junior Applied Microeconomists in Europe (JAMiE); Arab Economists in Europe and North America (AReena) network; and ECARES reading group.
