Research Interests

Research Fields: Macroeconomics, Labor and Demographic Economics. Research Topics: Pension, retirement, population aging, health and inequality.

My research interests lie in analyzing demographic transitions and understanding the macroeconomic and welfare effects of public policy programs globally. I am particularly interested in examining healthcare and pension programs and understanding their role in mitigating health and socio-economic inequalities. My research combines rigorous economic theory, the knowledge of public and social institutions, rich micro data and large-scale simulations to answer important questions at the intersection of public policy, population health and aging.
