Associate Professor of Economics and Director of the Institute for the Study of International Development at McGill University. My research expertise covers many aspects of applied microeconomic analysis in economic development. Specifically, my current and recent work has focused on two broad research areas: decision-making under uncertainty (namely concerning technology adoption among subsistence farmers) and the micro-economic effects of social policies and conditions (in the area of education, health and labour markets), with a focus on women. I have conducted research in Peru, Kenya and in the Caribbean, using laboratory experiments, surveys or randomized controlled trials.
