Biography

Research

Overview

While I view myself as an applied microeconomist, I have worked on a broad array of topics which overlap with financial economics, development and gender economics. In most of my work, I combine rigorous statistical analyses and advanced machine learning techniques with new data sources including social media data and web-scraped data.
