Mushegh Tovmasyan

WELCOME! 

I am a fourth-year PhD student in Economics at University Paris-Saclay, RITM, supervised by Jose De Sousa and Julien Wolfersberger. I obtained my Master’s degrees in Economics from University Paris-Saclay/ENS Paris-Saclay.

My interests lie in international trade, labor markets, and development. My job market paper studies the effects of Western sanctions on neutral economies, using Armenian customs and employer–employee microdata to examine trade, firm-, and worker-level outcomes. This research is conducted within a cooperation with the State Revenue Committee of the Republic of Armenia and the Armenian Centre for Research in Economics, with the broader objective of building and documenting Armenian administrative microdata infrastructure and ultimately making matched employer–employee and customs data accessible for economic research.

I also study how regional trade agreements shape industrialization patterns and anticipatory trade responses, as well as how occupational structure mediates workers’ sensitivity to local labor demand shocks, using French administrative data.
