• Specializes in EU policy impacts on candidate countries
• Focuses on climate-induced migration in Africa/Asia
• Explores cultural economics and media's role in political culture

Recent publications examine demographic drivers of global migration, climate adaptation in Bangladesh/Tanzania, and soft budget constraints in Chinese environmental policy. Her work combines remote sensing data with economic modeling to assess development challenges.

Collaborations include studies on internet's impact on African democracies and post-revolution labor market shifts in Egypt. Key methodological approaches employ gravity models and instrumental variables for policy analysis.
