About
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Paris School of Economics.
I conduct theoretical and applied research on macro-labor economics, focusing on cyclical job creation and distributional wage dynamics over the business cycle. My research interests also span topics on household and health economics in developing countries.
I am on the 2022-2023 Job Market and am available for virtual interviews.
Here are the links to my job market paper and curriculum vitae.
