Overview
This project page outlines the broader set of questions I want to keep pursuing during the PhD. I am interested in how transport costs, time costs, and spatial frictions affect labor decisions, non-work travel, and household welfare in cities marked by unequal access to opportunity.
Current direction
My current thinking centers on three connected themes:
- how transport subsidies shape welfare gains across different types of households and trips;
- how spatial frictions alter the effective benefits of social policy; and
- how mobility constraints affect broader outcomes in development and urban policy.
