Welcome to my website!


I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the  Aix-Marseille School of Economics.

My research focuses on macroeconomics and development economics. I developed two unique cross-country micro-datasets, the Harmonized World Labor Force Survey (HWLFS) and the Harmonized World Time Use Survey (HWTUS). I combine these data with state-of-the-art macroeconomic models to progress our understanding of the global disparities in income.

Prior to this work, I studied the redistributive effects of fiscal and monetary policies in high-income countries and the life-cycle patterns of household stock market participation.

Before joining Marseille, I was a (non-TT) Assistant Professor at the University of St. Gallen (2015-2023). I earned my Ph.D. from the European University Institute in 2012.

Here is my CV.
