Hello, I'm a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Economics at Harvard University and an affiliate at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS). I will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Notre Dame starting 2016. I'm interested in development economics, labor economics, applied microeconomics and agricultural economics.
My research focuses on understanding factors that influence the allocative efficiency of labor markets. I'm particularly interested in frictions that constrain the movement of labor out of the agricultural sector. I am also currently a member of a research team investigating how markets for information influence the adoption of agricultural technologies.
