Research

My research focuses on the economics of household welfare in the Global South. I'm interested in how low income households, particularly in rural areas, make ends meet, and how social norms influence this.  I'm also interested in how farmers respond to changes in their environments and particularly how farmers use their labor, land, and other resources to respond to changes in their environment.
