Research Topic
Child marriage bans, local economic shocks and children’s well-being
My research interests lie at the intersection of health economics and development economics, with a particular focus on issues related to health, education, and aging and retirement. My current work investigates the intergenerational effects of (i) education and early marriage, and (ii) natural resource booms on health and development outcomes.
