I am an economist working as a consultant at the World Bank in Washington, DC. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Houston in 2023.
My research interests are macroeconomics, development economics, and public economics. I study household economic decisions concerning consumption, saving, fertility, and human capital formation using calibrated life-cycle/OLG models and econometric methods. At the World Bank, I work on labor markets, long-term growth, inequality, and middle-class formation in developing economies.
Research fields: Macroeconomics · Development Economics · Public Economics
