About
I am an Economist at the the World Bank Human Development Network, Office of the Chief Economist, where I work on Impact Evaluation in the Social Protection and Education Sectors. I hold a DPhil in Economics and a MSc in Economics from the University of Oxford (Lincoln College), as well as a BA in economics from the University of Lausanne (Switzerland).
My research focuses on positive and normative issues related to poverty, risk and economic mobility. This includes analyzing the persistence of the impact of shocks on welfare dynamics, but also vulnerability measurement. I am currently working on the evaluation of the sustainability of the "Atencion a Crisis" conditional cash transfer program in Nicaragua.
Aside from my research and policy work, I have enjoyed teaching various courses of statistics and microeconomics to undergraduates and graduates alike. I am also an avid basketball player, having grown up playing for the BBC Monthey in Switzerland and the Oxford Blues in the UK.
