Research Interests
I am interested in doing research on the effects of institutional policies on labor market outcomes and firms' dynamics.
​
My current research focuses on how labor protection shapes the distribution of jobs and job-to-job transitions in economies where informal jobs coexist with formal contracts. I use a combination of large administrative datasets, econometric and computational tools and theory to address these questions.
