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.

I am currently an Economics Professor at Cégep (General and Professional Teaching College) de Shawinigan, Shawinigan, Québec, Canada

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