My current projects are studying how green transitions may affect labor markets in developing countries and what governments can do to ensure an equitable road to sustainability; understanding how care policies affect time use, labor market outcomes, gender-based violence, and well-being in households with young children, seniors, and persons with disabilities; investigating how drug trafficking affects outcomes for individuals in transit countries and the resulting implications for migration decisions; and documenting best practices when using machine learning methods to carry out survey-to-survey imputations to estimate poverty rates and trends when welfare data are unavailable.
