Research: My current projects target on social protection, clean cooking, electrification, food security, labor participation, aging, and COVID-19 pandemic. My areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 1) Food-Health-Energy Economics, and, 2) Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Social Protection, Poverty and Forced Migration. Approach: I focus on impact analysis and panel modeling. I use quasi-experimental designs such as Propensity Score Matching (PSM), Instrumental Variables (IV), and Difference-in-Differences (DiD). Data: My expertise is primarily in panel data. I work with freely available datasets, just to mention a few: World Bank Household Survey Panel Data ; Young Lives in Ethiopia Panel Data ; Ethiopia's Spatial Panel Data ; Forced Migration Panel Data and Afrobarometer Panel Data .
Publications: All my publications were published before 2022, prior to starting my PhD. Google Scholar.
