Research Interests
My main research interest is the effect of norms and institutions on labor market inequality in the U.S. I am
also interested in the economics of gender, especially the determinants of women's pay and labor force participation and the impact
of neoliberal economic policies on women and families. My tentative dissertation topic is the effect of Wal-Mart on wage inequality
and the economic well-being of low-income Americans. Currently, I am a data manager/analyst for a study that looks at the impact of
employer scheduling practices on the family life and job performance of low-wage workers.
