I am an applied micro-economist by training and my research mainly deals with policy-relevant questions that crosscut Development Economics, Health Economics and Labour Economics. In the past decade, applied microeconomics has broadened its focus on the dynamics of human capital formation to examine the importance of early childhood investments on later life outcomes and understanding how these decisions on how much to invest at each stages of life are made at the household level. My work contributes to different aspects of this growing literature. Within this broad area I have been working on a wide range of research topics as following.
