About me

I am an Economics PhD candidate at the Paris School of Economics supervised by Ekaterina Zhuravskaya and Hillel Rapoport. I am an applied microeconomist with research interests in economic history and political economy. I am on the 2026–27 economics job market.

My job market paper studies who captures the history curriculum in schools under centralization of textbook choice. More broadly, I study how social norms pass between generations and how states try to shape them.

In 2024-25, I visited Scott Gehlbach at the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy.

My CV is here.
