The second strand of her work examines the causes and consequences of labor market frictions in developing countries, with a focus on topics such as wage rigidity, wage compression, and labor rationing. She holds a B.S. in Operations Research from Columbia University, an MPA in International Development from the Harvard Kennedy School, and a Ph.D. in Political Economy and Government (Department of Economics) from Harvard University.
