About

A PhD candidate in Economics at the CUNY Graduate Center and an Adjunct Lecturer at City College of New York. My primary research fields are Applied Microeconomics and Labor Economics, with secondary interests in Political Economy, Macroeconomics, and Economic History.

My research examines how institutional and structural constraints — from historical systems of serfdom and imperial governance to modern challenges such as disability and remote work — shape labor-market outcomes and long-run development. This micro-founded approach naturally scales up to macroeconomic questions, studying how individual responses to institutional changes aggregate into economy-wide effects, such as the macroeconomic gains from remote work policies that increase disability employment, or how historical governance structures influence modern economic development patterns. The work employs cutting-edge quantitative methods, including machine learning and deep learning techniques, both to uncover micro-level relationships and to solve complex macroeconomic models.

Originally from Ukraine, I earned a BA in Political Science from the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and an MA in Economics from the Kyiv School of Economics, before moving to New York to continue my doctoral studies.
