Research
My research focuses on economic development, particularly the relationship between structural transformation, labour reallocation, and productivity growth. My current work examines the agricultural productivity gap and the role of worker sorting across agricultural and non-agricultural sectors, using longitudinal data from Indonesia. More broadly, I am interested in how individual choices, economic frictions, and public policy shape structural transformation and long-run development.
My doctoral thesis, Agricultural Productivity Gap and Development, studies these questions from both empirical and theoretical perspectives.
