Welcome!
I am a sixth-year Ph.D. student in Economics at Bocconi University in Milan.
I will be on the 2026/2027 academic job market.
My research focuses on how workers sort across jobs and the consequences for human capital and wages. I am particularly interested in how uncertainty shapes the behaviour of firms and workers and how those responses affect the aggregate economy.
Research interests: Macroeconomics, Labor Economics, and Structural Econometrics.
In Spring 2026, I visited the Stanford Economics Department as a Visiting Student Researcher, hosted by Luigi Bocola. During Spring 2025, I was a visiting researcher at Princeton University, hosted by Gianluca Violante.
Working Papers
What are the consequences of multidimensional skill uncertainty for workers’ wages and aggregate output? I develop and estimate a general equilibrium dynamic Roy model in which workers have imperfect information about their multidimensional skills and accumulate task-specific human capital. Estimated on Portuguese administrative data, the model rationalizes key patterns of occupational mobility, with learning about comparative advantage playing a central role in occupational reallocation among young and poorly matched workers. Removing information frictions raises aggregate output by 5.2%, primarily through better skill allocation across occupations, while generating the largest wage gains early in workers’ careers and among the most mismatched. A feasible information treatment about comparative advantage across tasks recovers about 18% of this output loss. Finally, job transformation induced by Large Language Model adoption raises output while widening the output gap between the imperfect- and full-information economies along the transition path and in the new long run.
