She holds affiliations with CESifo Research Network, NBER Development and Political Economy groups, BREAD, African School of Economics, and the International Crisis Group.
Her research focuses on two primary strands: the dynamics of children entering criminal careers in drug trafficking and gangs, examining consequences for economic development and state capacity in Peru and El Salvador; and the role of norms and policing in reducing gender-based violence through randomized control trials in Peru, India, and Mozambique. She collaborates with governments to design public policies for narcotrafficking and gang-controlled areas using large administrative datasets.
