Welcome to my Website! I am a PhD candidate at the University of Nottingham, working in Political Economy and Public Economics. I use machine learning and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyse tax legislation. I study how political competition shapes tax expenditures —such as exemptions, deductions, and tax credits.
Recent Research:
Attitudes toward Immigrants, Information Shocks and Hate Crime [with Jake Bradley (University of Nottingham), Facundo Albornoz (University of Nottingham), Silvia Sonderegger (University of Nottingham), and Devesh Rustagi (University of Warwick)], submitted to the Review of Economic Studies.
