關於
我嘅工作係發展中國家經濟發展、農業、性別同測量嘅交匯點。 我用大規模嘅家庭調查同地理空間數據去研究家庭、農場同市場點樣運作，特別係喺數據稀少或者難以收集嘅環境下。 我喺日內瓦 研究生院 攞咗博士學位，亦喺 IFPRI、國際貨幣基金組織同世界銀行做過調查數據嘅工作。
我創立咗 Dollar Scholars基金會，為可能從未接觸過嘅成年人提供有證據支持嘅理財教育。 我亦建立咗佢 嘅網站同多語言測驗。
喺經濟學之前，我做咗七年專業 電競評論員，喺2004年至2011年間，喺首爾到蒙扎播報過《反恐精英》同《魔獸爭霸III》嘅賽事。 我而家仲玩《反恐精英2》同《鬥陣特攻2》，仲喺《無盡的任務》入面做吟遊詩人團隊副本。

Spreading the love around: how does agricultural labor demand respond to temporary weather shocks?
喺六個國家，農戶喺旱災同異常潮濕時期嚴重依賴家庭勞動。 女性戶主嘅家庭受限制明顯較大。
摘要
This is the first study to separately identify labor demand responses to both unanticipated droughts and periods of above normal rainfall for three forms of agricultural labor that are central to agricultural production: family, hired, and mutual exchange labor. I use a simple parcel‑level model with three labor types and monitoring costs to study how family labor is reallocated across parcels during drought. In six countries I find small but statistically significant decreases in the share of hired labor during droughts and during periods of above-normal rainfall, indicating a strong reliance on family labor during shocks. I find that farm households appear to lean heavily on exchange labor by using exchange labor more frequently during periods of above-normal rainfall. Due to the heavy reliance on family labor, household size and the gender of the household head are important moderating factors. Women-headed households appear to be significantly more constrained in how they apply labor on family farms. My findings underscore that these labor types are distinct in how they respond to temporary weather shocks. The results of my analysis have important implications for policies targeted at stimulating agricultural labor markets.

Assessing land area from above: evidence from Armenia
一個喺家庭調查入面嘅隨機試驗：用衛星影像追蹤田徑比用GPS量度少42%時間，而且自我報告嘅估計有改善，但準確度比GPS低。
摘要
Using primary data collected by the World Bank in Armenia as part of a randomized controlled trial, we evaluate the use of a satellite image tracing to measure agricultural land in the context of a household survey. Satellite tracing offers several benefits, including a large reduction in the cost of measuring land, the potential to measure more parcels of land, and improved security for survey enumerators. We find the satellite tracing approach yields consistent results, and requires 42% less time than measuring with GPS, and provides value-added over self-reported estimates. Due to the potential cost savings, and other non-trivial benefits, we suggest that land measurement via satellite image tracing offers significant value, though is not as accurate as land area estimates conducted with a handheld GPS.
教學
佢真係我喺美國大學遇過最好嘅教授之一，甚至可能係最好嘅。 佢特登用真實世界嘅數據例子，而唔係淨係用「Sally有4個蘋果，Dave有15個橙」式嘅問題...... 佢係一個大學教授應該有嘅一切，甚至更多。
