Research Focus
My research lies at the intersection of political economy, public policy evaluation, and applied microeconometrics. More specifically I work on topics related to voting behavior, the evolution of economic policy preferences of distinct socio-economic classes, public procurement, and the implications of gender gap in corporate world. I use a variety of methods in my research including causal inference methods, field experiments, network analysis, predictive modeling, and cluster analysis along with other similar statistical tools.
