Our research includes modelling and empirical analysis of the nature and functioning of households in developing countries, as a framework to understand household decision making regarding human capital investments as well as fertility and household formation, and their implications for inter-generational mobility and intra-household conflict.
To shed light on the pathways between household decision-making and long-term mobility, our group also focuses on identifying cultural and behavioral frictions in the labor market, analyzes the roles of cognitive and non-cognitive skills and social protection policies on occupational choice and labor market outcomes, and looks at the impacts of external shocks, such as trade liberalization, on both the formal and informal labor markets.
Our research also directly evaluates the short and long-term impacts of specific social policies, such as educational, health, early childhood interventions, pensions and cash transfers. Using both experimental and quasi-experimental designs, and a combination of original survey and administrative data, impacts on human capital outcomes, labor market and long-term welfare are investigated, shedding light on the potential of such interventions to break (or in contrast reinforce) the intergenerational transmission of poverty and inequality.
