I am an Economist with the Development Data Group at the World Bank where I work on improving the monitoring of global poverty, shared prosperity, and inequality. I work on a team that manages the Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP), the home of the World Bank’s global poverty, shared prosperity, and inequality estimates. I am interested in the measurement of poverty, shared prosperity, and inequality, as well as understanding the relationship between institutions, inequality, and conflict.
I have a Ph.D. in Economics from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
