I study the political economy of inequality in the long run. My research examines how historical institutions governing the state, the family, and markets shape the distribution of economic resources and opportunities over centuries.
Using newly constructed archival micro-data and modern economic methods, I analyse how these institutional arrangements affect wealth inequality, gender gaps, and social mobility. My work combines long-run historical evidence with causal inference to better understand the origins and persistence of inequality.
I received my PhD from the London School of Economics and was previously a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute and a Research Fellow at the Sustainable Cooperation (SCOOP) Centre at Utrecht University.
