My research interests are in the field of development economics. I focus on the social and behavioral aspects of individual decision-making, using behavioral experiments in the laboratory and in the field, randomized controlled trials, and  econometric analysis of household and firm survey data. My work tends to have a geographical focus on South Asia, and India in particular, where I have spent 16 months during 2007-2008 collecting data for my dissertation. In terms of topics, I have worked on (agricultural) technology adoption, education and farmers’ attitudes towards risk for my dissertation. My current research interests also include agricultural markets, social networks, child and maternal nutrition, and the Indian family and marriage market.
