Fabiola Alba-Vivar
Assistant Professor of Economics
Wake Forest University
I am an applied microeconomist working on Labor, Health and Gender. My research is focused on how policies and infrastructure affects economic and social outcomes, with an emphasis on equity and access for women and vulnerable populations. In other work, I study the spillover effects of large policies in education markets and health outcomes.
I currently have ongoing projects in Peru and the Dominican Republic.
Upcoming presentations: Duke University, MWIEDC, University of Delaware, RIDGE Gender, LSE CEP Education
