Meager has significantly contributed to the development of advanced statistical methods in economics. She has advanced the application of Bayesian Analysis for Randomized Controlled Trial data, for instance investigating robustness effects against treatment heterogeneity by considering the impact of leaving out small fractions of the data. She applies these techniques to development topics such as the impact of microcredit on economic growth and inequality.
