Her educational background includes:
- Ph.D. and M.S. in Economics from the University of Kentucky

Dr. Clifford's research centers on Development Economics (examining technology, growth, and structural change), Economics of Education (analyzing ethnicity and gender impacts on educational returns), and International Trade and Finance (investigating spillover mechanisms). Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with empirical analysis of real-world economic disparities.
