I am an applied economist who studies firms in developing countries, focusing on two primary areas:

1. (Financial) contracting under asymmetric information: using better/new data and technologies to improve borrower screening and credit allocation, and designing products that better align lender-borrower incentives.

2. Determinants of productivity and growth of firms in economies characterized by substantial market failures; in particular, how technology adoption decisions of firms and the allocation of resources across firms interact with various frictions prevalent in developing economies.

Research Fields: Development Economics, Finance, Productivity and Growth.
