I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
I am an empirical microeconomist with research interests in labor economics, development, and environmental economics. A central part of my work in labor economics examines how labor market imperfections — such as search and matching frictions and wage bargaining — shape wage and employment dynamics, and how these imperfections interact with broader shocks such as international trade, technological change, and shifts in unionization. While my research is primarily empirical, it often bridges theory and empirics by deriving and testing the restrictions that theory imposes on the data. In addition, I pursue a secondary research agenda at the intersection of development and environmental economics, studying how natural disasters and infrastructure improvements affect firms, education, and labor markets in developing countries.
