About Me

I specialize in the tax behavior of multinationals, bridging public economics and economic geography. My research centers on corporate taxation, profit shifting, and global financial and tax reforms. Currently, I am analyzing the potential corporate tax revenue gains from the implementation of minimum effective tax rate under the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting.
