I joined the Economics Department at University of Zurich in 2016, as Professor of Development and Emerging Markets . I am also an affiliated professor at the UBS Center for Economics in Society and the Director of the Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation Center for Economics of Breastfeeding. Before joining University of Zurich, I was an Associate Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University, John F. Kennedy School of Government. I did my PhD in Economics at IIES Stockholm University, acquired in 2010.
My research interests include development economics and political economy, with a current focus on the drivers of culture and norms in shaping labor markets for men and women; the role of social media and artificial intelligence in society, and; health care in developing countries. Another priority is the development and testing of a new research and teaching concept that aims at searching for scalable solutions to pressing societal challenges, the Social Catalyst Lab .
Faculty affiliations include: Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) , The Bureau for Research and Economic Analysis of Development (BREAD) , European Development Research Network (EUDN) and Center for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) .
