I am an economist. My research interests are applied labour, health, and development economics, and survey methodolgy. I am particularly interested in:
- Determinants of social and human capital
- Causes and effects of ethnic diversity and segregation
- Microcredit
- Child labour
- Determinants and measurement of well-being
- Methods to reduce and correct for non response
- Impact evaluation
- Field and survey experiments
I am part of the Understanding Society team. I had been involved in a number of projects including: the sample design of the ethnic minority boost sample, the imputation of income data, the creation of the harmonised BHPS-Understanding Society dataset, and the inclusion of Understanding Society into the Cross National Equivalent File (CNEF).
