Research Description
My research focuses on labor economics and the economics of education, with an emphasis on school performance at the primary and early childhood levels. This work includes quasi-experimental studies of the effects of charter schools on test scores and post-secondary outcomes, a study documenting and explaining variation in effectiveness across Head Start childcare centers, and an analysis of differences in the demand for school quality across demographic groups. My work also involves developing and applying econometric tools to answer questions of practical interest.?
