ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
As an empirical economist, I focus on individuals, firms, and market dynamics. My main research interests lie in the area of Industrial Organization, with a particular focus on Competition Economics and Consumer Behavior. These topics are reflected in various research projects that combine individual behavior of economic actors with antitrust, asymmetric information, technologies, sustainability, and mental health in different ways.
