Interests

My research interests are in Applied Microeconomic Theory, particularly in the study of the role of institutions in competitive settings and the mechanism design of their policies. My published and ongoing research uses theoretical and empirical methodologies in a variety of contexts - public procurement, affirmative action, European integration and cybersecurity.
