Hello there, welcome to my personal website!

I am an applied economist working in urban economics, with research interests in environmental economics, labor economics, and gender inequalities. In my work, I combine these fields to study how transport systems, spatial constraints, and public policies shape environmental outcomes and labor market behavior.

Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Economics at the University of Graz, where I received my PhD in Economics in 2025. You can find my dissertation Evaluating Emission Reductions in the Transport Sector: Empirical Contributions here.

In my empirical research, I am particularly interested in policy evaluation. Methodologically, I work with causal inference designs, panel data methods, and time series to study how policies affect environmental and labor market outcomes across space and population groups.

Current Research

I currently lead the project Bridging Inequality in Distance and Gender: Commuting and Child Penalty in the Austrian Labor Market (funded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences). The project examines whether commuting constraints after childbirth contribute to gender gaps in labor market outcomes in Austria. It is joint work with Riccarda Rosenball (Uni Graz), Jos van Ommeren (VU Amsterdam), and Andrea Weber (CEU).
