Watch: Dr. Luisa Blanco - Mobile Money Diary Project

Dr. Luisa Blanco, associate professor of public policy, served as Visiting Senior Scholar at the Opportunity & Inclusive Growth Institute of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis this summer. Her research is highlighted in this Institute's featured videos. She is currently working on the Mobile Money Diary Project at the Institute—the first of its kind in the United States. Blanco will conduct a six-month study among Hispanics in California to measure the link between financial well-being and mental health by using a mobile app to collect data.
