After receiving my doctorate, I spent a year as a Post-Doctoral Fellow at MIT. In 2009-2010, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. I’m also a Research Fellow at the CEPR and an Associate Editor for the Journal of Population Economics.

My broad interest is in demographic change, gender differences, and their interaction with economic growth. Recently I’ve been involved in three research agendas. First, I examined the interaction between income inequality and fertility choice through the marketization of childcare. Secondly, I examine how political preferences shape gender differences among top executives. Finally, I examine how changes in bargaining power within the household affect fertility choice and investment in children’s education.
