Current Positions and Affiliations

Research Profile

  • Specializing in economics and behavioral science, I conduct research on human behavior, evaluate public policy, and explore public attitudes towards evidence-based policies.
  • A focus of my research lies in understanding how beliefs and societal expectations shape behavior and influence support for public policies.
  • Building on these insights, I aim to identify policies that enhance social mobility, advance gender equality, or promote climate action.
  • I conduct field experiments and large-scale, cross-country surveys, assessing which policy solutions are effective and politically feasible.
