Emma Riley

I am a Junior Research Fellow in Economics, with a focus on development economics. My research to date has looked at how mobile money services contribute to risk sharing in Tanzania and improve the business performance of microfinance clients in Uganda. I have also examined the impact of a role-model and aspirations in the form of a movie "Queen of Katwe" for secondary school students' exam performance in Uganda. Current projects examine how mobile banking technology might benefit the businesses of female entrepreneurs in Ghana and the impact of a village-based poverty alleviation programme in Uganda.
