About
Ikechukwu (Ike) Nwaka received a PhD in Economics and serves as an Editorial Member in the Journal of African Development, and Kadın/Woman 2000, Journal for Women's Studies. Ike’s research unites several strands of emerging subjects of enquiry: inter alia the intersection of labour economics and quality of life, gender in household decision-making and family entrepreneurship, environmental economics, and economic development. His current research tries to observe the joint pathways through which climate change and energy poverty affect households and family businesses in Africa. He is also interested in exploring how incentives and grants affect household energy efficiency and pro-environmental choices in Canada.
