About me

I am an Assistant Professor of Global Commerce at Denison University. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Colorado State University and hold both a master’s and bachelor’s degree from the University of São Paulo (USP), my alma mater.

My research lies at the intersection of international trade and economic development. I combine applied microeconomic methods with macroeconomic theory to address policy-relevant questions. Much of my current work investigates the consequences of trade-induced economic shocks for development outcomes such as structural change, electoral outcomes, mortality, and crime. I have published in the Journal of Development Economics, Health Economics, The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy, Metroeconomica, and Structural Change and Economic Dynamics. Details on my ongoing projects can be found on the research page.
