Presentation

My research interests lie in macro-finance, specifically household finance and banking. I typically leverage large micro-level datasets and microeconometric identification techniques to answer my research questions. My most recent papers have looked at the stock market entry and exit decisions of individual retail investors and the impact of capital regulation on bank behaviour.

Prior to joining CBS, I completed my PhD in Economics at the London School of Economics, and my undergraduate and master's studies at the University of Cambridge. 

Primary research areas
