My
recent research topics can be summarized by three broad
categories: police discretion in law enforcement, labor
economics and economics of the family, and risk aversion
in lab experiments. In the first category, my research
objective is to grasp the concept of efficient and
socially fair law enforcement, focusing on racial
discrimination. In the second category, I study various
topics, most of which are traditional labor topics such
as education credit constraints, tradeoff between
fertility and female labor supply, and gender earnings
gap. Lastly, I've been working on experimental studies
to elicit risk aversion. In particular, I'm interested
in why individuals behave differently when they are in
groups. At my leisure, I’m
interested in uncovering economic incentives in unusual
contexts such as figure skating and television game
shows.
