I currently work at the World Bank (WB) in the Economic Policy and Poverty team of the South Asia Region (SAR). Previously, I worked in the Food Assistance Branch of the Economic Research Service (ERS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and also as an adjunct professor at at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). At SAIS I taught econometrics, and my research at ERS included work on obesity, rural poverty, and the effect of social safety nets on household welfare. I hold the following appointments: Research Fellow with the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in Bonn, Research Fellow with the William Davidson Institute (WDI) at the University of Michigan, Research Affiliate with the National Poverty Center (NPC) at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan.

Prior to ERS, I was an Assistant Professor at the Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education (CERGE) in Prague where I taught Public Economics (Ph.D. level) and Econometrics II (Ph.D. level). While in Prague I was also a Senior Researcher at the Economics Institute (EI) of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. Prior to CERGE, I worked as a consultant at the World Bank primarily on the Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) and as a post-doctoral fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). At both of these institutions my research was largely on poverty and the economics of education, and I was also involved in the collection of household survey data from several different countries (El Salvador, Paraguay, Pakistan, Egypt, and Mozambique). At IFPRI, I trained government officials of the Poverty Alleviation Unit of the Government of Mozambique in the methodology of poverty analysis.

I received my Ph.D. in Economics from Princeton University in 1996. While finishing my degree, I taught Statistics and Applied Microeconomics (Masters level) as a lecturer at the Woodrow Wilson School of Princeton University. My fields of specialization include applied microeconomics and econometrics, development, transition, and public economics. My research focuses on topics related to poverty, inequality, education, household labor supply, and related measurement issues.
