Her research agenda at CESifo will focus on human capital development from childhood to adulthood. She has recently started working with text data using Natural Language Processing, in particular applied to a large-scale data set of essays written by children. During her stay at CESifo, she hopes to advance a project that 1) measures creativity of individuals 2) estimates determinants of creativity and 3) estimates returns to creativity.
