I study how economies adjust when institutional capacity is limited. My research develops the concept of adaptive misallocation: when rebuilding capacity is weak, decentralised substitution alters the path of economic adjustment and can generate persistent efficiency losses. Using experimental variation and large-scale administrative data, I study how firms and institutions respond when these constraints shape economic response.
