I am a Senior Lecturer (tenured) at
​          the Department of Economics, 
          Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
and a Research Affiliate at IZA@LISER

My research lies in the field of empirical labor economics and focuses on two main agendas. The first addresses labor market barriers faced by disadvantaged and underrepresented groups. I have studied barriers that relate to women’s limited fecundity horizons, spatial disparities in education and employment opportunities, restrictive gender norms, and behavioral biases. The second research agenda seeks to gain an understanding of workers’ behavior in teams, a central topic of growing interest as firms increasingly assign production tasks to teams rather than to hierarchies of individual workers.

​I hold a PhD in Economics from the Eitan Berglas School of Economics at Tel-Aviv University.
