IPED Lecture : Time-of-day effects on disclosure of Intimate Partner Violence

Katherine Theiss is a PhD candidate in Economics at Fordham University. Her research fields are development economics and applied microeconomics, with a focus on gender, health, public economics, and applied econometrics. In her current work, she utilizes rigorous econometric techniques to answer important policy questions in the areas of gender and health in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Specifically, her research agenda aims to achieve two distinct, but interconnected, objectives: (i) contribute to our understanding of the causal drivers and mitigators of gender-based deprivations in LMICs and (ii) improve the measurement of health and development indicators.

In addition, while pursuing this degree, she has consulted on several data-driven projects carried out by various international organizations, including the United Nations, the World Bank, IMPAQ International, and the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago.
