About

Rob is an economist studying labour markets in developing economies, particularly how to reduce search and matching frictions to increase employment, earnings and productivity. He also studies how labour markets intersect with government policies on income support and public works employment. My two secondary research agendas are on human capital and on methods and measurement. Rob is currently an assistant professor in the Duke University Economics Department and an affiliate at the Poverty Action Lab. He previously worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the World Bank's Development Research Group and studied at the University of Michigan and University of Cape Town.
