I am a Ph.D. student in Economics at the University of Calgary, with research interests in energy economics, environmental economics, and industrial organization. I am especially interested in how firms and consumers respond to policy changes, market conditions, and geopolitical shocks, particularly in energy markets.
I am a P.hD. Student in Economics at the University of Calgary. My research lies at the intersection of energy economics, industrial organization, applied econometrics, and international economics.
A central theme of my work is understanding how geopolitical events and policy interventions change the behavior of firms and markets. I am particularly interested in oil and petroleum markets, sanctions, international trade, competition, price transmission, maritime activity, and energy security.
My research combines large administrative and commercial datasets with causal inference, panel econometrics, event study designs, time-series methods, and machine learning techniques.
My research examines energy markets, geopolitical shocks, sanctions, competition, pricing, and firm behavior.
This paper examines how Western sanctions on Russian oil affected a major non-sanctioning buyer. Using refinery, trade, benchmark-price, and retail fuel data from India, I study how discounted Russian crude altered refinery production, margins, and domestic price transmission. The results provide evidence on how sanctions redistribute economic rents across producers, intermediaries, and consumers.

Peer-reviewed research published in academic journals.
This paper studies the long-run economic consequences of extreme natural disasters using Hurricane Gilbert in Jamaica as a case study. Using synthetic control methods, we find that labour productivity increased in the years immediately following the hurricane but declined substantially over the longer term. The results highlight how the economic effects of major natural disasters can persist for decades, even when the initial recovery appears relatively strong.
This paper examines whether adopting an inflation-targeting regime affects international trade. Using synthetic control methods across a group of developed and developing economies, we compare the evolution of trade after inflation targeting with counterfactual outcomes for each country. The results show that the effects of inflation targeting on trade differ considerably across countries and over time.
