Welcome! I am an economist at the OECD’s Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities (CFE), in the Economic Analysis, Data and Statistics Division. 

My research focuses on how the design of public policies shapes economic decisions. During my Ph.D., I studied how size-based innovation policies, such as R&D incentives that provide greater support to small firms, affect firms’ production, compensation, and hiring decisions. 

I was recently awarded an ⁠Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) Postdoctoral Fellowship for 2026–2028, hosted by the Retirement and Savings Institute at HEC Montréal. I will study how the design of tax-advantaged savings programs influences household saving.
