My research interests are a mixture of development, innovation and industrial economics. More specifically, I am interested in analysing existing export structures of developing and emerging economies as well as the impact of public policies on export diversification and innovation (e.g. through (quasi-) experimental methods). In this regard, the concept of Economic Complexity is of particular interest to my research.
