My research interests are in development economics applied to intra-household decision-making, behavioral economics, and applied econometrics. In my research on development economics, I examine the interaction between the intra-household resource management structure and asymmetric information over the quantity of resources available to the household as causes of income-hiding between spouses. I illustrate this in two related, but distinct, theoretical models, I identify hiding of income empirically drawing data from a household survey conducted in Ghana, and I have obtained a grant to implement bargaining experiments with spouses.
