Her research interests center around housing markets, specifically examining the systematic spatial pattern of housing prices and understanding the interactions between housing and labour markets within regions. A significant focus has been on studying how changes in transportation network influences housing prices. She has studied methods to estimate and assign economic values to non-market goods such as emissions to air and green spaces. More recently, she has delved into the importance of neighbourhoods, especially in view of the influx of immigrants in urban areas, and the growing trend of neighbourhood segregation. Her latest projects have specifically focused on studying the complex issues of segregation, immigrant integration, labour market dynamics, and evaluating policy efforts aimed at improving residential neighbourhoods and fostering immigrant integration.
