I am a macroeconomist specializing in the fields of International Macroeconomics, Macroeconomics and Economic Growth. I am currently a Lecturer in the Economics Department within King’s Business School, King’s College London. I joined from the Department of Economics at the University of Lausanne (HEC).

A broad aim of my research studies the drivers and macroeconomic consequences of international capital flows. To this end, my research synthesizes more relevant features of household and investor behavior, such as slow portfolio adjustment, limited asset market participation, non-rational expectations, or more realistic features of labor income shocks with structural macroeconomic models of international portfolio choice.

Research fields: Open Economy Macroeconomics, Macroeconomics, Household Finance, Economic Growth
