Research Interests
My research interests are in applied microeconomics, labor, experimental and development economics. I am particularly interested in gender-related issues. I am currently studying how gender influences outcomes in the labor market and the choices individuals make affecting labor market participation. I examine these questions using empirical and experimental methods.
