Research Interests
- Development economics/applied micro-econometrics
- Poverty and multidimensional welfare dynamics
- Labor markets in developing countries
- Economics of nutrition - underweight in devleoping countries, obesity in the USA
- Land tenure, equity and poverty
- Project evaluation
I am currently working on labor markets in Madagascar, where I was on my research leave from August 2006 until July 2007.
I am also working on a project with Prof. Susan Averett on childhood obesity in the United States. We're ultimately interested in the cognitive consequences of being overweight, but in doing so we need to model the determinants of being overweight -- kind of a search for instruments, if you will. Anyway, here is an link to the CDC's BMI Calculator so you can see what your nutritional status is.
Here is a link to the USAID-funded Ilo
Project, in which I have been involved. It was for this project
that my family and I spent a year living in Antananarivo, Madagascar,
during 2000-2001.
