Jean-Marie BALAND

I am a Full Professor of Economics, former head of the Department of Economics, and a member of the CRED in the DEFIPP Institute at the University of Namur. I am also a member of THRED (ThReD - Theoretical Research in Development Economics), EUDN (Home Page - EUDN), BREAD (About – BREAD) and CEPR (Home | CEPR). 

I work on questions of development and environmental economics, using both applied microeconomic methods as well as a variety of empirical approaches. My current research focus on gender norms, household dynamics, poverty measurement as well as deforestation in the Himalayas.

Here attached, you will find some notes I use in my Phd class on 'How to do research in development and environmental microeconomics'. Feel free to use them (a ppt is available upon request by mail)!
