I am a Senior Researcher at the Department of Economics, University of Zürich. For the 2025/2026 academic year, I visit the Department of Economics at Stockholm University as a guest researcher.
My research interests are in the fields of Development Economics, Environmental Economics, and Behavioral Economics. As an applied microeconomist, I employ behavioral methods through field interventions, lab-in-the-field experiments, as well as online surveys and survey experiments with populations from around the world.
My paper "Strategic Ignorance and the Perceived Efficacy of Action" (joint with Anca Balietti, Angelika Budjan, and Alice Soldà) has been accepted for publication in The Economic Journal.
New working paper titled "Father Engagement and Support to Mothers: The Policy Elasticity of Child-Related Spending" (joint work with Ingvild Almås, Bet Caeyers, Pamela Jervis, and Charlotte Ringdal).
