Research

Applied Econometrics, Development Economics, Agricultural economics

My research interests are in the economics of intra-household decision making; economic growth and the environment; and agricultural contracts. These interests have led me to work in both developed and developing economy contexts. As an applied economist with a focus on economic development, my research uses quantitative approaches to study a range of issues cantered on gender; poverty; identity and hope. My current research agenda focuses on the impact of climate shocks on child outcomes by combining satellite information and survey data.
