Since 2017
My dissertation focuses on how social networks affect behavior and creativity at the individual level, using a gender lens. I use gender stereotypes to investigate ego-centered and alter-related mechanisms that explain differences in men's and women's beneficial returns from social networks.
In general, I am interested in the role of different types of ties (cf. collaborative, competitive, professional, and kin) on work-related outcomes. In a related stream of research, I study gender differences in competition choices and performance in competitive environments and family-to-work spillovers in terms of network tie formation.
