Ph.D. Candidate in Economics

Brown University

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at Brown University.

My main research interests include macroeconomics, monetary policy, nominal rigidities and firm dynamics.

I will be on the European and American job market during the 2022-23 academic year. In my job-market paper I study the differential response of firm-level markups to monetary policy in small and large firms.
