About

Bio

I am currently a final-year Ph.D. candidate in the School of Economics, Singapore Management University (SMU). My research interests lie in labor and development economics with four core areas: intra-household allocation, investment in children, migration, and gender. I leverage both structural estimation methods and reduced-form techniques to explore the mechanisms underlying trade-offs between the quantity and quality of children, as well as trade-offs between female labor supply and family formation.
