Welcome!
I have been an associate professor at Uppsala University since September 2011. I am also a research fellow at the Uppsala Center for Fiscal Studies and at the Institute for Public Economics (IDEP, Marseilles) as well as a research affiliate at CESifo (Munich). I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from EHESS in Paris (Paris School of Economics and GREQAM) in 2007. My primary research field is public economics, with a major interest in taxation, redistribution and migration. I enjoy teaching public economics, microeconomics, mathematics and game theory (at various levels, from the BA to the PhD).
