About me

I am a graduate student at the IIES.

My research interest lies within macroeconomics, labour economics and the economics of education, with a focus on the economic life of marginalised and disadvantaged individuals, what has caused their misfortune and what we can do for them from a macroeconomic perspective. Currently, I am working on a joint project with Shuwen Kang where we use an overlapping generations framework that allows parents to make multi-period educational investments in their children's human capital to study the intergenerational persistence in income and education.
