Gabriela Smarrelli
University of OxfordI am a PhD Candidate at the Department of International Development at Oxford University.
My primary research fields are development economics, economics of education, and public administration.
My research focuses on two topics. First, I investigate the barriers to human capital accumulation, particularly those imposed by the prevalence of violence and restrictive social norms. Second, I explore the role of incentives and non-pecuniary sources of motivation on bureaucrats’ performance.
