I am a PhD fellow in economics at Copenhagen Business School. I work at the intersection of public economics and quantitative spatial economics, studying how the distribution of people, prices, activity, and welfare across space is shaped by public policy. Using administrative data and quantitative models, I evaluate policy counterfactuals. 

In particular, I am interested in the rules a society uses to assign people to places (e.g., local government boundaries, the allocation of affordable housing, household registration systems) and their welfare implications. These rules are not neutral background features of geography, but policy choices with winners and losers. Much of my current research is about taking those rules seriously, measuring how much they matter, and asking whether they could be designed better.

Methodologically, I draw on quantitative spatial modeling, dynamic programming, and econometric techniques for causal identification. I work primarily with large-scale administrative data, often at a fine spatial and temporal resolution.
