I’m on the #EconJobMarket! I study labor, extreme weather adaptation, and inequality.

My JMP addresses an under-studied aspect of the labor market: schedule unpredictability among hourly workers in the service sector.

Time flies. I’m on the job market!

Relatedly, if you’re at #APPAM, stop by and say hi at tomorrow’s evening reception, where I’ll have a poster on my JMP.

1/

In my JMP, I ask: Why do different kids specialize in different skills?
In the same classroom you have:
– the math whiz
– the leader
– the quiet empath

Is that because they chose different skills to invest in… or because some skills are just harder for them to build?

Posting a little late but new blogpost from World Bank Development Impact on my job market paper.

Peer matching interventions often require a nuanced understanding of how direct vs general equilibrium effects can operate differently.

My job market paper explores this through a large-scale RCT across Indian schools.

So inspiring to see Columbia’s @ConchaArriagada sharing her life story and her views on the lack of representation of women in Economics. She is really what exemplifies coming from the bottom, a non elite institution in a highly unequal country, to the top 🗽
