In my research I am interested in
exploring determinants of long run economic growth and
behavior of economies in transition. In this context I
focus on public policy and the way governments can
affect welfare and growth through taxation and the
provision of public goods (such as in infrastructure)
with different productive characteristics. I apply the
theory concerning the effects on growth of R&D,
learning, structural change, international trade, and
public capital to different historical episodes. In the
case of post WWII Europe, I quantify the direct
contribution of these factors to growth using
calibration methods.

| Most recently I have been concerned with how different types of externalities (in leisure, consumption and/or income) affect economic growth and optimal public policy. In my ongoing research I attempt to apply these concepts to explore the evolution of female labor force participation and female welfare during the 20th century. | |
