About Me

I'm a PhD student in economics at the Institute for International Economic Studies (IIES) in
Stockholm.
My research focuses on macroeconomics and productivity, exploring the dynamics of economic growth
and productivity.
My approach involves developing macroeconomic models that are motivated and disciplined by Swedish
administrative employer-employee data.
I also have an affinity for coding and applying machine learning methods to economics and have done
work on reinforcement learning-based pricing algorithms.
