Fields: Labor Economics, Public Economics, Economic Development

My research focuses on applied microeconomics, with a particular emphasis on labor economics, public economics, and economic development. I am especially interested in how culture and social norms influence economic decision-making and behavior. These factors play a critical role in shaping outcomes across labor markets, public policy, and development contexts. By integrating cultural and behavioral dimensions into economic analysis, my work seeks to provide deeper insights into policy effectiveness and the broader socio-economic forces driving inequality and development.
