Hi, welcome! I’m a PhD candidate in Economics at the Aix-Marseille School of Economics, under the co-advisorship of Habiba Djebbari and Timothée Demont. I’m an applied economist working in development economics. I study how social networks and informal institutions can affect household adjustment and behavior in agrarian economies in the face of climate shocks and uncertainty.
I am on the 2026–2027 academic job market. My job market paper, Neighborly Business: Labor Exchange Networks and Wage Markets in Rural Thailand, looks into why unpaid reciprocal labor networks may persist in monetized rural markets and their impact on access to wage labor.
My work combines economic theory with applied empirical methods. I use household surveys, administrative records, and geospatial climate data to measure how rural households allocate labor, income, and time. I rely on quasi-experimental variation, from weather shocks and other quasi-exogenous changes, to study adjustment to risk.
My research focuses on:
- how social networks and informal institutions affect formal and informal rural labor allocation
- household decisions under climate uncertainty
- rural migration and temporary mobility
- household adjustment and structural transformation in evolving agrarian economies
