My research field is applied microeconomics, in particular labour economics (worker productivity, wages, coworker peer effects), the economics of education (early childhood programmes and child development), and health and family economics (parental and child health outcomes).

Topics I currently work on include:

Software Components:

The following items are statistical software components for Stata. To install them, type "net search" followed by the name of the programme into the Stata command line.

felsdvreg (Stata module for a memory saving fixed effects estimation of a linear model with two high-dimensional fixed-effects). My programme is user-friendly, provides standard errors, and useful additional summary statistics, but it is not the most efficient for very large computational problems. For large problems you may want to try out reghdfe (Sergio Correia), a2reg (Amine Ouazad), gpreg (Johannes Schmieder), reg2hdfe (Paulo Guimaraes), and twfe (Nikolas Mittag) in Stata, or lfe (Simen Gaure) in R. Of these, reghdfe in Stata seems to be the most versatile, allowing for more than two high-dimensional FE, as does lfe in R.

inteff3 (Stata module to compute marginal effects in the probit model with a triple dummy variable interaction term)

meoprobit (Stata module to compute marginal effects at means and their standard errors after the estimation of an ordered probit model)

mehetprob (Stata module to compute marginal effects at means and their standard errors in the heteroskedastic probit model)
