Policy is at the heart of my work. I have partnered with the Ecuadorian government and the World Bank to answer policy-relevant questions with administrative data from millions of firms and individuals. In the process, I have published shorter studies for policy audiences. I have traveled to Ecuador and Chile to conduct field research, present findings, and lead data science workshops for practitioners.
