Research Economist

DIME, World Bank

I am a research economist in the Development Impact Evaluation Department (DIME), World Bank. I obtained Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Berkeley in 2024.

My work revolves around delving into the intricate relationship between policies and their profound impact on firms and the broader economy. Particularly, I am interested in public procurement policies in developing countries. My job market paper is focused on uncovering corruption within public procurement auctions and analyzing its policy implications. Please check it here "Rigging the Scores: Corruption through Scoring Rule Manipulation in Public Procurement Auctions".
