I am currently working on labor markets in Madagascar, where I was on my research leave from August 2006 until July 2007. Part of this work is currently funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) through the Improving Labour Market Outcomes for the Poor in Sub-Saharan Africa: Ghana, Madagascar, South Africa and Tanzania project.
I am also working on a project with Prof. Marc Bellemare on contract farming in Madagascar.
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.
