He is also Fellow at CESifo and at the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR). Among his editorial activities, he is Editorial Advisor at the Canadian Journal of Economics. Prior to joining the University of Bristol in 2014, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at CREi, Universitat Pompeu Fabra. He holds a PhD in Economics from the Paris School of Economics (PSE).

His research fields are Labour Economics, Development, Public Economics, and Urban Economics. In his recent work he has been addressing a number of different questions, e.g., the shape of unemployment benefits, the behaviours of job seekers in recessions, the long-term effects of pollution in Victorian England, tax evasion and fiscal policies, or rural-urban migration in transition economies.

He has received a number of research grants. Just last year, he was awarded two grants. The project Mapping History – What can historical maps can tell about urban development? (MAPHIS), for which he is a partner, was awarded an ANR grant. And as the Principal Investigator, he was awarded a grant from the BA Global Challenges Research Fund for his project Floods, Risk Diversification and Livelihoods.
