I am an economist focussing on using modern empirical methods, specifically econometrics, machine learning, and data science, to contribute to a better understanding of the past and present economic development. My research revolves around topics such as economic development, structural change, complexity, economic geography, innovation, economic history, and global value chains.

Also, I have been involved in several economic policy reports, which translate academic findings into specific policy recommendations.
