I am a Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, Department of Economics. My research investigates topics in the field of labor economics, broadly defined. I focus on three main areas, namely, family and gender issues in labor, the effect of information friction on earnings and compensation and the estimation of semi-parametric models. My recent work investigates discrimination and gender gaps in labor market outcomes; the link between fertility, labor supply, parental time investment in children decisions and the intergenerational persistence in education and earnings; and estimation of dynamic general equilibrium models of labor markets with incomplete information.
Gayle received a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Economics from the University of the West Indies-Mona in 1996 and 1998 respectively, and a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Pittsburgh in 2004.

I have worked for over 25 years in public policy-making, starting in the US inside the US House of Representatives with Congresswoman Barbara Kennelly and later in Brussels at the European Parliament when I worked for Sir Ken Collins, MEP and Chairman of the Environment and Public Health Committee. In the US Congress, I helped design policy innovation for inner city families through the Freedom from Want Act. For the European Parliament, I co-designed policy innovation on drinking water, the water framework and public health.
I earned a Masters in the Management of Sustainable Development from Erasmus University and then became a senior policy adviser (law firm Hammond Suddards and public affairs firm Fleishman-Hillard) and guest lecturer on decision-making in the EU (United Business Institutes, Erasmus University, College of Europe at Bruge and the Missouri School of Journalism). While doing my PhD at the University of Surrey on public policy-making in Greece under external influence, I lectured as adjunct professor with the Hellenic American University. I have also worked as a lead trainer for Pinnacle PR in Europe and the Middle East preparing hundreds of professionals for speeches and media interviews, strategic public affairs & advocacy campaigns.
Finalizing doctoral research on how the IMF influenced national decision-making in Greece on a health policy called "e-prescription". Looking forward to leveraging my US and EU policy-making experience.
