Biography

My research focuses on designing incentive effects of social insurance programs, with particular emphasis on unemployment insurance, pensions, health insurance, and disability benefits. I am particularly interested in how policy design choices shape individual behavior and labor market outcomes, ensuring that programs balance income protection with work incentives.
