​Welcome! I'm a Senior Economist at the World Bank, working at the intersection of public economics and development economics. 
​
I'm interested in firms' and households' responses to taxation, and the optimal design of tax systems in a context of weak state capacity. The impact of technological change on tax systems, e.g. through electronic payment technology, is a common theme of my research. 
  
I also work on other areas in development economics, such as the effect of unemployment on violent extremism, informal trade, and interlinked transactions in agriculture.
