关于
我的工作处于发展中国家经济发展、农业、性别与测量的交叉点。我利用大规模家庭调查和地理空间数据研究家庭、农场和市场的运作方式,尤其是在数据稀缺或难以收集的环境中。我在日内瓦 研究生院 获得博士学位,曾在 IFPRI、国际货币基金组织和世界银行从事调查数据研究。
我创立了 Dollar Scholars基金会,为那些可能从未接触过的成年人提供基于证据的理财教育。我还搭建了它的 网站和多语言测验。
在进入经济学之前,我曾做了七年职业 电竞解说员,2004年至2011年间在首尔到蒙扎为《反恐精英》和《魔兽争霸III》解说。我现在还在玩《反恐精英2》和《守望先锋2》,在《无尽的任务》中扮演吟游诗人进行团队副本。

Spreading the love around: how does agricultural labor demand respond to temporary weather shocks?
在六个国家,农户在干旱和异常多雨时期严重依赖家庭劳动力。女性户主家庭受到的约束明显更大。
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
家庭调查中的一项随机试验:在卫星影像上勾绘地块比用GPS测量节省42%的时间,结果也优于受访者自报的估计,但准确度不及GPS。
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.
教学
他真的是我在美国大学遇到过的最好的教授之一,甚至可能是最好的。他特意让班级用真实的数据例子,而不是像“莎莉有4个苹果,戴夫有15个橙子”那样的问题......他具备大学教授应有的一切,甚至超出预期。
