My research interests lie in international trade, with a particular emphasis on the trade–environment nexus. I use structural quantitative models combined with micro‑econometric identification to study how climate policies in an open‑economy context shape welfare, supply chain dynamics, and distributional outcomes. More broadly, my work also extends to issues such as trade frictions, industrial policies, and geopolitical risks, and their implications for trade patterns, production networks, and economic adjustment.
