Abel L. Kutangila

Welcome!

I am an economist with a Ph.D. in Development Economics from the University of Sherbrooke (Quebec, Canada, April 2025). I also hold a Master’s degree in Rural and Environmental Economics from the University of Kinshasa and the Interuniversity Graduate Program (Programme de Troisième Cycle Interuniversitaire, PTCI), as well as Bachelor's degree in Mathematical Economics from the Protestant University of Congo.

My research focuses on sustainable resource management, climate change, and agricultural policy, combining theoretical modeling and causal inference to study how households and labor markets in developing countries adapt to environmental and policy shocks.

I have previously taught as a lecturer at the University of Sherbrooke, at the General and Professional Teaching College of Sherbrooke (Cégep de Sherbrooke), and at the Protestant University of Congo, and I bring applied experience from my role as a Business Analysis Officer at Vlisco Congo.
