My passion is finding efficient and simple solutions in the complex world of international economics and regulations.
I consider myself best labeled as a good international economist, as I specialise on the synergy of different areas of international economics, with the main focus on the macroeconomic aspects of trade. I have particular interest in the effects of regionalism and sustainable agriculture trade policies.
