"Unpacking the Black Box of Cognitive Ability: A novel tool for population-level assessments"
Oct 26, 2015 at - | 103 McNeil Building

 Amar A. Hamoudi is an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department at Duke University. His research interests lie in areas of intersection between empirical microeconomics, biology, and family demography. One broad theme in his research is the long reach of health and human capital consequences of events in early life; another is the function of the extended family as an economic institution. More recently, Dr. Hamoudi has been developing interests around the development of, and economic returns to, nontraditional forms of human capital such as executive functioning and self-regulation.
