Research summary

I am an empirical microeconomist. My research is on the interactive effects of changes in labor markets and households' decisions with a focus on the gender dimension of these changes. In terms of methodology, I use both designed-based and model-based approaches. In particular, in my most recent project, I combine these two approaches of empirical economics.
