Welcome to my web page! My colleagues call me Abdou and my last name is pronounced @and_joy_ . I am currently an Assistant Professor of Economics at New York University, Leonard N. Stern School of Business, and a Research Affiliate at CEPR.

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern University in 2018 and worked as a Research Economist (postdoc) at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2018/2019. During the Covid-19 crisis, I was an Advisor to the Minister of the Economy, Planning and International Cooperation of Senegal from May to December 2021.

My main research is in macroeconomics and public finance. I also write about mechanism design, distributed economic systems, the regulation and taxation of cryptoeconomies, and development economics.
