Her research takes place in developing countries and in societies in transition, facing gender, health and environmental inequalities. She also works on impact evaluations of infrastructure projects (e.g., roads, water and electricity). Her work has been published in the Journal of Development Economics, the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, World Development, and the Journal of Economic Psychology.
