Economist



Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor at the Economics Department of American University in Washington DC. I am also the Co-Director of the Institute for Macroeconomic and Policy Analysis (IMPA). Before, I was a Postdoctoral Research Scholar at Columbia Business School. I hold a PhD in Economics from the European University Institute (Florence, Italy). My current research focuses on macroeconomics, public finance, and political economy.
