I am an applied economist working at the intersection of health economics, labor economics, epidemiology and sociology. My research studies how life events — including health shocks, job loss, migration and exposure to warfare — shape individuals' labor market trajectories and family outcomes, with a focus on causal identification using Finnish administrative register data.
