Biography
I am an industrial organization economist, combining both theory and empirical analysis to understand how firms respond to policy changes and how these responses impact consumers. My research aims to inform the discussions on competition and tariff policy, with a focus on how firm size and scope influence their reactions to policy changes.
I enjoy teaching courses that connect with policy-making and consumer welfare, such as industrial organization and international trade. In my classes, I strive to link theoretical concepts to real-world issues, with the goal of encouraging interest in policy-relevant topics.
