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. I use 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.  

Selected work in progress

• Children and climate action: insights from Odisha, India (P.I, SSHRC)
• Hidden consequences of Climate Shocks: Evidence from India  
• Causal Impact of Cultural Diversity and Economic Outcomes in Canada - a Dynamic Assessment
