My main research interests relate to the effect of increased integration and automation on labor markets, and how policy responses can be used to mitigate any adverse effects that may arise from this. Some of the areas in which I plan to conduct research include: (i) the differential effect of trade integration on workers with different occupations; (ii) the effect of trade-related active labor market programs; (iii) the feasibility and effect of universal basic income programs. I believe one can determine which are the best possible policy responses by comparing outcomes in countries with different labor market structures to ensure their economies grow in a fair and inclusive manner.
