Research summary
AI-generated

Miguel Sarzosa studies how skills, both cognitive (thinking and reasoning abilities) and socio-emotional (things like self-control and social skills), shape outcomes in education and the labor market. His work covers topics such as school bullying and peer effects, discrimination against homosexuals in wages and employment, and how family and policy factors (like access to birth control or free college) affect children's development and career choices. Much of his research uses statistical methods to measure skills that are not directly observable and to account for hidden factors influencing labor market outcomes.
