My research explores three themes in international economics: global value chains and firm production networks; firm productivity, innovation, and management practices; and financial frictions in international trade and investment.

 

In 2024-2029, I am pursuing a research program on Firm Network Technology (the activities and costs of network formation) and Technology in Firm Networks (the impact of firm links on innovation), under ERC/UKRI Advanced Grant FIRMTECHNET.
