I am a PhD student in economics at Hanken School of Economics and the Helsinki Graduate School of Economics.

I am interested in competition economics broadly. My thesis mixes theory and empirics of how market frictions (switching costs, regulatory mismatch, search and matching costs and belief biases) affect market structure, quality choice and welfare. 

I have been a teaching assistant in introductory micro- and macroeconomics, economics of strategy and behavioral economics. I am an affiliated researcher at the Ratio Institute and a research fellow at Timbro.
