About me
I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the KDI School of Public Policy and Management. I am an applied microeconomist working on poverty, and I use randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental methods to ask how low-income households and small firms make decisions and how policy can improve their outcomes. Much of this work is based on large-scale trials in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and beyond, spanning Tanzania, Liberia, Malawi, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Pakistan, Vietnam, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan. My published work covers unconditional cash transfers, intimate partner violence, agricultural input adoption, food security, and the measurement of survey outcomes. My current agenda extends this to energy and climate, and to retail productivity of small businesses.
