Curriculum Vitae

Welcome to my page!

​

I am a Ph.D. economist with primary interests in Macroeconomics and Financial Economics, with a focus on climate change. ​My research is focused on how firms, households, and financial institutions make decisions regarding climate risk mitigation and adaptation in the context of (i) lack of information about climate change and (ii) behavioral biases such as under-reaction in response to available information.

​​

I am also interested in leveraging increasingly available microdata across developed and emerging economies to inform macroeconomic models of labor market outcomes and firm expectations.

​

I am a Junior Fellow at the Center for Advanced Studies on the Foundations of Law and Finance at Goethe University, and a Research Affiliate at CAFIN, University of California, Santa Cruz.

​

I will join the Swedish House of Finance (SHoF) and HOSS (previously MISUM) as a Post-doctoral scholar in Fall 2026.
