I am a Ph.D. candidate in economics at the University of Zurich and an affiliated researcher at the UBS International Center of Economics in Society.

My research focuses on empirical finance and macroeconomics.

I will be available for interviews at the AFA/ASSA 2019 meetings in Atlanta and the European Job Market in Naples.

My job market paper is "Safe Banks, Slow Economy? The Effects of Stress Testing on Entrepreneurs and Productivity" (link to pdf).
