Victoria L. Prowse's research uses economic theory and data analysis to study how people make decisions about work, savings, and skill development over their lifetimes, and how government tax and benefit programs affect income inequality. Her work also examines how cognitive abilities, creativity, and teamwork skills influence economic and strategic behavior. Much of this research combines behavioral economics experiments with life-cycle models of family labor supply and social insurance policy.
