It’s August 7, 2009, and I’m at the London School of Economics, the weather is kind of awful, and I’m looking forward to spending the weekend jogging in Islington, watching a dance show at Sadler’s Wells, and in my favorite low-key Turkish restaurant — called Gem — in Islington.
The summer is a fruitful time for research, playing with data, interacting with people, confronting ideas, and be clearer about the big picture. So here are some of my current research interests:
- Womenomics. Why don’t companies have more high-level female executives? How does women’s traditional involvement in the household affect their professional career? Why are companies losing so many talented women at the junior and middle management levels?
- The non-economic consequences of the real estate bubble.
- Do students think that their teachers are prejudiced? A field experiment in the classroom with 20 schools across England.
Enough to keep me busy for a good chunk of the summer!
