I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Mississippi with research interests in Macroeconomics, Economic Growth and Development, Institutions, Climate Change, and Demographic Economics.
My dissertation examines: (i) how population age structure affects institutional quality in developing and emerging economies, (ii) the inflationary effects of IMF lending programs in low- and middle-income countries—highlighting the moderating role of state capacity, and (iii) how unanticipated inflation influences fertility behaviour in the United States.
