Her research interests include innovation dynamics, labor market outcomes, economic complexity, skill premiums, and gender disparities in invention. She investigates how cognitive and social skills affect wages, how automation impacts inequality, and how policies like maternity leave influence female inventors’ productivity. Her work integrates network theory and econometric modeling to explore structural inequality and knowledge diversity in industries.
Her recent publications examine age-related differences in patenting, the impact of maternity leave on female inventors, and new measures of economic complexity. She has published in Research Policy and Pacific Economic Review, and her working papers span topics from technological catch-up in developing nations to the wage premiums in knowledge-diverse industries.
