I am a second-year PhD candidate at CREST (École Polytechnique, ENSAE), supervised by Prof. Roland Rathelot and Prof. Arne Uhlendorff. I am also a research affiliate at IPP (CREST-Paris School of Economics), where I spent my first PhD year as a research economist in its labour market division.
My primary research interests include labour economics, policy evaluation, and econometrics, with a specific focus on job seekers’ search behaviour, unemployment insurance, and information frictions in the hiring process. I also study trade economics, particularly trade dependencies. I focus on identifying them, understanding and analysing their evolution and impact. I also provide research consultancy to the European Investment Bank on these issues, particularly their implications for intra-EU trade.
Furthermore, I’m the director, founder, and editor-in-chief of Oeconomicus, an online journal that aims to promote economic research, make it accessible to the public, and foster collaboration between academics and institutions to enhance economic understanding.
