​​Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.

My main fields are in development economics and political economy. I am also interested in economic history and public health.

In my research I study social aspects of epidemic outbreaks, causes and consequences of civil violence, and information mechanisms in determining development and political economy outcomes, such as spread of disease, labor conditions, or social attitudes and behavior. To do this I combine own data-collection efforts, with quasi-experimental or experimental methods.

I hold a PhD in Economics from the European University Institute in Florence and I spent the last three years of my doctorate at the University of California Berkeley as a Visiting Research Scholar.
