My research combines quantitative and qualitative methods to better understand inequalities in education and to identify effective public policies that can reduce them. I apply causal inference approaches in policy evaluation, including experimental methods and natural experiment settings, and complement them with qualitative analyses of laws, policies, and stakeholder perspectives.
Collaborating with other researchers, I focus on inequalities in secondary and tertiary education, and on the mechanisms through which socioeconomic conditions and social norms contribute to the transmission of inequalities. My work often involves the analysis of large administrative datasets on students at different stages of education, which I integrate with additional sources to provide a comprehensive picture of the challenges and opportunities within educational systems.
