I am an applied economist who uses both publicly available field data, and data that I generate on my own in the lab. My main areas of research are Fiscal Policy, Political Economy and Experimental Economics. I am currently working (or I plan to work) on the fiscal effects of term limits, the effects of legislature size and bicameralism on government spending in a cross-section of countries, the fiscal theory of the price level, and on an extension with human and virtual players of the experiment on evolutionary drift that I have already done.
