DOCTORAL STUDENT
FELLOWSHIP
HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL
We are pleased to be supporting our Hauser PhD fellow for
the academic year 2011-2012, Harvard Kennedy School student
Sara Nadel. Sara was chosen from among a competitive group
of applicants due to the relevance of her background and
PhD interests to the work of the Center, see brief bio
below. We welcome Sara to the Hauser community and hope to
engage with her throughout the year in meetings, research,
and collaborations that would benefit the development of
her PhD research and the Center.
Sara Nadel is in
her third year in the Public Policy PhD at the Harvard
Kennedy School, having completed the Masters in Public
Administration – International Development Program in
2009. Prior to coming to HKS, she was the Country
Director in Peru for Innovations for Poverty Action,
an organization dedicated to rigorous research about
development programs. She is working on questions
related to the distribution and design of programs in
international development. Her paper, "How do
households react to eligibility requirements?"
examines how households may compromise their
well-being in order to appear poor enough to access
social programs using data from Mexico's Progresa
program.
