Welcome to my webpage. I am a development economist seeking to better understand challenges facing poor households in lower income countries. My aim is to identify tools and policies that can help overcome these challenges and reduce global poverty. 

I am a Professor in the Department of Economics and at the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) at Princeton University.  Here is a link to Princeton's Research Program on Development Economics (RPDE).

Research is a collaborative process. I am fortunate to work with many wonderful people around the globe. Beyond Princeton, I am affiliated with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) and BREAD.
