Short Bio:
My research interests are development economics with an emphasize on post-communist transition and microfinance, political economy, and women in the labor market. More recently I started to work on application of ML/AI and behavioral sciences in tax administration. I teach various microeconomics courses across undergraduate and graduate programs of the college. I also collaborate as a consultant with various international organizations (World Bank, ILO, ETF, UNDP among others).
