Klara Sabirianova Peter is an economist interested in the behavioral responses of individuals and firms to public policies in a weak institutional environment. Currently, she is pursuing a research agenda at the cross-roads of labor and public economics as applied to developing economies. Her earlier research focused on labor aspects of market reforms in Russia. In particular, she examined wages, employment, investment to human capital, and labor mobility using the linked employer-employee dataset that she created for Russia. In the context of other transitional economies, she also examined the effect of market reforms on the quality of life, returns to human capital, and firm efficiency. Later, her research has broadened to more general issues of economic development such as bribery, corruption, contract violation, inequality, tax evasion, and informal economic activities.
