Dr. Odio-Zúñiga’s research focuses on policy-relevant questions that seek to determine the most effective mechanisms to improve labor market outcomes and social mobility and overcome barriers to equality. In her doctoral studies, she implemented an innovative structural approach to evaluate, quantify, and decompose the causal impact of taxation policies to understand how joint-household behavior and changes in taxation impact the formal-informal labor market composition in developing countries. Her work has been published in the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Review.
