Research Overview

My research is at the intersection of development and labor economics and explores policies that can break the intergenerational transmission of poverty in developing countries with emphasis on health determinants. I use careful experimental and non-experimental statistical methods to determine underlying causal relationships. My focus is on social policy-oriented research covering several countries, including Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, Rwanda, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
