RESEARCH

My research aims to understand the economic lives of people, and the heterogeneous effects of social policies and programs on people under different circumstances. I use economic theories to explain why people make different choices about finances, health, housing, employment, and family, and apply experimental or empirical methods to test these mechanisms rigorously. Through my research, I hope to help design social policies and programs which are inclusive and effective in improving people’s lives.
