Her main research focus is development economics, including work on technology adoption and agricultural productivity; how individuals form and update beliefs about potential outcomes under uncertainty; the relationship between incentives, bias, and quality in the media; and political budget cycles. Methodologically, her research employs econometrics, field experiments, and lab-in-the-field experiments to study these issues---all with an eye towards better understanding heterogeneous impacts and optimal design of public policy. She has ongoing research projects in Kenya, Nicaragua, Fiji, and Ghana.
