Hi! I'm an economist at the Trade and Financial Studies of the Federal Reserve Board, International Finance Division. I obtained a DPhil (PhD) in Economics at the University of Oxford in 2025. My research interests include monetary economics, international macroeconomics, fiscal policy, and energy.
My job market paper analyses the trade-offs policymakers faced in the 2022 Euro Area energy crisis regarding price cap policies. The cooperative decision is not to cap, but capping allows a country to avoid a crisis at the cost of negative spillovers on the uncapped country.
Recently, I have been working on the effect of energy shocks (and fiscal policy reactions to them) on consumption inequality, and on monetary-fiscal interactions in a currency union. During my summer at the IMF, I studied the optimal degree of exchange range stabilisation under diagnostic expectations.
