Research Fields: Economics and Institutions, Economics and Inequality, Economics and Beliefs

 

I am an applied microeconomist interested in empirical applications related to the historical contexts that shape economic development. In particular, I am recently interested in how the roots of development are shaped by past conflicts and the incentives and actions of institutions. In past work, I have studied a range of topics related to skill development and mental health. I also have some work using survey experiments to understand gender norms and motherhood labour market penalties.
