In my research, I draw on economic theory and experimental methods to answer questions relevant to current health policy debates in low- and middle-income countries. I am particularly interested in understanding what drives the behaviours and performance of health care providers, in order to inform policies that expand the provision of high-quality care. I also study the determinants of the demand for health care services, and how to encourage people to use of preventive and curative services more efficiently.
