I study organizations and how management and organizational practices affect performance and workers across countries and industries. My work focuses on the public sector (with a focus on principals as school managers and mayors/bureaucrats as government managers) and the private sector (with a focus on manufacturing firms, family firms and multinationals). The type of organizational outcomes I study include productivity, labour sorting and selection, inequality (of wage and opportunity) and mental health.

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at Monash University.

I am a Research Fellow at CEPR, the Centre for Economic Performance (London School of Economics), the Productivity Partnership (Canada) and the Forward Society Lab. I am an invited researcher at JPAL LAC and JPAL North America. I work on three large data collection initiatives: the World Management Survey, the Development WMS and the Scientific Labs Management Survey.
