Areas of interest
My research interests are in international economics, environmental economics and their intersections as well as broader areas in applied economics. In particular, I studied the evolution of the pollution content in international trade and how trade liberalisation impacts on pollution emissions. I was also recently involved in working on a project in the research area of strategic persuasion in private experimentation which has been fruitful in producing research output.Postgraduate supervision
I am interested in supervising research in the areas of international economics (trade/FDI/finance), environmental economics and in particular their intersections. I am also happy to supervise broader topics in applied economicsBackground
