In her research, she uses quantitative methods to analyse large datasets and incorporates insights from different social sciences such as sociology, history, economics and political science. In relation to the FIRES project, she works on the historical evolution of labour, knowledge and financial institutions in Europe during the twentieth century and their long term link with (female) entrepreneurial activity.
