About me
I’m an Applied Micro-economist. I am passionate about Industrial Organization broadly speaking, production functions and productivity, corporate taxation, market power, the political economy of market structures. My research combines economic theory and novel empirical methods to develop original identification strategies. In my research, I pay special attention to the role of latent variables in the underlying economic model and how those variables affect the identification of the parameters of interest.
I am currently a PhD candidate in Economics at Western University. I will be in the 2025-2026 job market.

Working Papers

Even governments with detailed administrative data have difficulties detecting tax evasion because of firms’ concealing behavior. How can a researcher with access to more commonly available data —like manufacturing surveys— estimate tax evasion through cost overreporting?
Do the observed prices and quantities in the international oil industry arise as an equilibrium of the Cournot model when quantities are mismeasured?
