She uses a variety of research methods, such as field experiments and survey-based techniques, and frequently collaborates with organizations in both developed and developing countries.
She is currently working on the impact of firms’ recruitment strategies in increasing gender diversity in public-sector frontline jobs, on the role of contract enforcement in fostering female entrepreneurship in Sub-Saharan Africa and on employee culture in a multinational bank.
