Welcome!
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of Michigan.
My research lies at the intersection between Public Finance and Labor Economics. I am particularly interested in understanding how government interventions influence the incentives of economic agents in both developed and developing countries, often leading to unintended consequences.
Here is my CV.
