About Me

Teaching and Research

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics of Child Well-being and Development at the University of Zurich, and Chairman at CCWD.


My research is primarily about why, in developing countries, parents often fail to invest in (and sometimes even destroy) children's human capital.
