I am an applied microeconomist using causal inference methods — including difference-in-differences, event studies, instrumental variables, and causal forests — to study how economic conditions shape individual behavior and well-being. My research spans labor economics, the economics of crime, entrepreneurship, and development economics, with applications across Europe and Latin America.
