About Me
I am a PhD student in the Economics Department at KU Leuven, funded by a Fellowship from the Research Foundation Flanders. I also spent some time visiting the Institute for Applied Microeconomics (IAME) at the University of Bonn.
My research is in labor and family economics. I’m interested in how individuals and firms perceive and value all kinds of job attributes and how these valuations are reflected in equilibrium labor market outcomes, with a particular focus on inequality. To study these questions, I use structural models of search and matching, causal inference methods, and survey experiments.
