About

Since July 2022 I'm a Country Economist at the World Bank Group, Economic Policy (EP), Global Practice. Since February 2024 I'm also Research Fellow at CERDI (France). I received my Ph.D. in Economics from CERDI in 2017. My topics of interest include Applied Econometrics, Fiscal Macroeconomics, Political Economy and Institutional Economics. I wrote a book on Direct Democracy, Sovereignty, and Classical Republicanism.
