Assistant Professor in Economics

Tilburg University

Welcome!

I’m an Assistant Professor in Economics at Tilburg University. I received my PhD in Economics from TSE in 2024 and spent a year at CEMFI in Madrid as a Postdoc afterwards.

I am a macroeconomist with broad research interests in Macro Development, including Firm Dynamics & Growth, Political Economy, and Inequality. My research is particularly interested in (1) the dynamics of growth in developing economies and (2) how the state and private sector interact over the course of development. To study this, I use a combination of micro data and structural (macro-)economic models. Check out my research statement for more information.
