Welcome to my website!
I am an applied microeconomist with research interests in labor and development. I received my Ph.D. in applied economics from the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University in 2022 and was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Sydney School of Economics and the ARC Life Course Centre from 2022 to 2024.
My research uses large-scale administrative and survey data combined with causal inference methods to study issues at the intersection of labor markets, education, and household decision-making. Current projects examine: (1) the short-run impact of international students on local labor markets and firm dynamics in the United States; (2) the effects of increases in women’s intra-household bargaining power on children’s university enrollment in Indonesia; (3) the role of early childcare accessibility in shaping maternal labor supply and well-being in Australia; and (4) interventions to reduce gambling and substance use among adolescents in Bangladesh.
I am also the translator behind the Vietnamese editions of Alvin E. Roth's Who Gets What and Why (Tri Thuc Publishing House, 2017) and David S. Evans and Richard L. Schmalensee's Matchmakers: The New Economics of Multisided Platforms (joint with Chi Tran; The Gioi Publishers, 2019), and the editor of the Vietnamese translation of Richard Thaler's The Winner's Curse.
