LSEI am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the London School of Economics (LSE). I hold a Master's degree in Economics from the University of Chicago.
My passion lies in studying the impacts of environmental policies in the context of climate change and natural disasters. By leveraging empirical strategies, structural models, and engineering models, I hope my research helps to design the optimal environmental policy solutions for those challenges.
My research covers China, sub-Saharan African countries, and the United States.
In my job market paper, I study the benefits and costs of a flood risk redistribution policy that protects urban areas at the cost of harming rural counties. Specifically, I integrate hydrological models into economic analysis.
