My general research fields are labor economics and applied microeconomics. I’m mainly interested in studying family decisions. One of my papers examines the balance of bargaining power between spouses. It is found that the balance of power is stable and robust to temporary economic shocks within marriage after matching in the marriage market. In another paper I showed that marriage is a significant factor for women’s labor supply and they are jointly decided. I also examined the endogeneity of fertility with regards to households’ investment in children’s education. Along the same line of interests I’m currently working on female fecundity and its labor market consequences. At my leisure I have also written papers uncovering economic incentives, optimizing behavior and strategy in unusual contexts such as figure skating, television game shows, and poker tournaments.
