I am a Professor and William Dawson Scholar in the Department of Economics at McGill University, Montreal, where I have been working since 2007. I received my PhD from the European University Institute (EUI), Florence. In 2018, I received the Bank of Canada's Governor's Award. |
My main research interests are in macroeconomics broadly, in particular macro-development and structural change, inequality, labor markets, and firm dynamics and entrepreneurship. My work often focusses on heterogeneity and its consequences. To do so, I use quantitative macroeconomic models and large administrative datasets and survey data.
I'm also the PI of a Research Team on Inequality, funded by FRQSC. Team members are Rui Castro, Nicolas Gendron-Carrier, Fabian Lange, Fernando Saltiel (McGill), Raquel Fonseca (UQAM), Baris Kaymak (Cleveland Fed), Joao Galindo da Fonseca and Immo Schott (Université de Montréal), as well as our students and new associate members Davide Alonzo, Laëtitia Renée, Hyejin Park (UdeM), Andrei Munteanu (UQAM).
