Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
We have working papers for both projects "Technological Change and Wage Inequality: The Role of Migration, Occupations, and Human Capital" and "Quality of Perinatal Care and Clinic Choice: Evidence from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)" and we aim to submit for journal publication some time later this year. I was able to visit both co-authors several times during the project period and we made substantial progress on the papers. It was difficult during the pandemic to complete some of the tasks on time but since things have opened up we have continued to make progress. Particularly the RCT in the Congo was delayed because my co-author Dr. Shapira was not able to travel during covid. However, the data collection finished last year and we have resumed estimation. The project on technological change is at an advanced stage and we are currently refining the estimation to improve the fit of the model.
