Research

Research Topics, Overview of the research

• Research Topics

  Household behavior (intra-household allocations, living arrangements); economic inequality (wage, income, and consumption inequality, minimum wages, technological change).

• Overview of the research

  My research aims at understanding (i) the dynamics of resource allocations (such as consumption and time use) within families and (ii) the sources and mechanisms of changing economic inequality across countries and time.
