ABOUT ME

I explore how scientific evidence can inform better policies, while using real-world policy challenges to identify new research questions. 

For almost two decades, I have combined quantitative methods and diverse sources of data to explore how public policies and aggregate economic shocks affect countries' development and human wellbeing.
