About

I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the Department of Management, University of Toronto Scarborough, cross-appointed to the Rotman School of Management.

My research sits at the intersection of international trade, firm dynamics, and development economics. I study how barriers in labor and capital markets shape firms’ production and trade decisions, and through them, economic growth and the effectiveness of industrial and trade policies in developing and emerging economies.

My work pairs causal reduced-form evidence from rich microdata with theoretical modeling and structural estimation, to quantify mechanisms and evaluate policy counterfactuals.
