Catalina Franco

I am a researcher at Center for Applied Research (SNF) at NHH – Norwegian School of Economics. I am affiliated with the Center for Experimental Research on Fairness, Inequality and Rationality (FAIR) and the Development Learning Lab (DLL).

My research focuses on education challenges in industrialized and developing countries, often using behavioral economics as an approach. I use both administrative data and traditional evaluation methods and design my own randomized studies.

Particularly, I am interested in gender differences in performance and academic decisions in high stakes environments, such as college entrance exams.
