Ideas:
“  My research interests include applied microeconomics and the economics of education. I use causal inference and quasi-experimental techniques to evaluate both the effectiveness of policies and their unintended consequences. My current research agenda centers around evaluating policies intended to increase access to schooling. I aim to produce research that builds our understanding of how educational policies can differently impact different groups of students.  ”
