CV: Curriculum Vitae
About
I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Economics at Stockholm University, advised by Roine Vestman. My research interests lie in household finance and public economics. I study how households make financial decisions and how public policies and institutions shape their financial outcomes. In particular, I am interested in how cognitive abilities and limitations influence these decisions. My work takes an applied microeconomic approach and primarily uses administrative and survey data.
In spring 2026, I was a visiting PhD student at Columbia Business School, hosted by Stephen Zeldes.
