Kibrom Tafere

I am an Economist in the Development Research Group (DECRG) at the World Bank. My research interests are in the areas of development and applied microeconomics, with especial focus on the links between policy and environmental shocks and education, health, food security and agricultural productivity. My current research studies the effects of access to healthcare on health, schooling and agricultural productivity; the long-term and inter-generational effects of childhood shocks; the effects of global health emergencies on food security and maternal and child health, and the targeting of social protection programs.
