Eble, Alexander J. (ae2566)

Professor Eble's research focuses on two core areas. In the first, he studies how children form beliefs about themselves and how this affects their human capital development. In the second, he studies the effectiveness and scalability of high-leverage policy options to raise learning levels in the developing world. His work draws on insights from experience as a development practitioner in China, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, and India.
