Welcome!

I am a Lecturer (British for Assistant Professor) at the London School of Economics and co-director for the finance program at the International Growth Centre. Much of my research is coordinated through Innovations for Poverty Action and the MIT Jameel Poverty Action Lab, two amazing organization working to reduce povery by ensuring that policy is based on scientific evidence.

My research agenda focuses on combining economic theory, field experiments, and more traditional empirical analysis to understand how economic development works and how it can work better. Most of my work is in less developed countries and centers on development finance and how firms function.
