Myanmar”. Then, she completed a Master’s Degree in Development Economics at the University of Florence in 2023. Her thesis “Assessing the economic impact of the CFA Franc Zone membership. An analysis implementing the Synthetic Control Method to evaluate the economic development of Madagascar” was the outcome of a research period at the University of Sciences-Po-Aix, France, where she conducted a study on the impact of French neo-colonialism on the economic development of the member countries of the CFA franc monetary union.

international framework, such as socio-economic inequality, gender economics, and sustainable rural development.
