1. Structural reasons for energy inequality and poverty at the household and firm level. For e.g. discrimination, accessibility, and affordability.
2. Outcomes of energy inequality and poverty at the household and firm level. For e.g., households face health problems and firms face constraints in producing output and creating jobs.
3. Microfinance provides cheap credit to households and firms where formal credit is unavailable or is costly in poor countries. I am interested in estimating evidence for or against microfinance, considering that cheap credit can increase indebtedness due to time inconsistent preferences. For developed countries, this includes payday loans and loan sharks and their effect on households.
4. Many cultures and countries, worldwide, show preference to have sons over daughters. This effects many socioeconomic outcomes, especially demographic. I am interested in estimating the structural reasons for son preference and its outcomes.
5. Two specific outcomes (with significant spill over effects across time and space) of gender inequality across the world are nutrition and education. I am interested in conducting policy oriented impact evaluation studies to study the effect of specific variable(s) on these two outcomes.
