About

I am a PhD candidate and researcher in economics at the Center for Applied Public Economics (CAPE), at UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles. I am also a member of the Center for Research in Economics (CEREC), the International Microsimulation Association (IMA), the European Economic Association (EEA), and the Canadian Economics Association (CEA).
In 2023/24 (fall), I visited the Department of Applied Economics at HEC Montréal.
My research is at the intersection of public and labour economics, with a focus on taxation, microsimulation modelling, and income inequalities. As personal interests, I am also fond of behavioural economics, economic history, and football economics.
I will be on the academic job market in 2024-2025.
