I am
a development economist applying microeconomic analysis and statistical
analysis to problems of development. My interests are diverse, including
research on risk and poverty, rural institutions, local political
economy, childhood poverty, social and geographic mobility,
microinsurance, and measurement issues related to poverty and
vulnerability. I have also a keen interest in finding ways to engage
with policy makers via research and communication on specific themes. I
teach a number of graduate economics courses at Oxford University.
Much of my work involves the collection and analysis of longitudinal
data sets, and I am closely involved in 7 ongoing longitudinal surveys
focusing on rural households in Ethiopia (ERHS), Tanzania (KHDS), and
India (new ICRISAT VLS), and on children in Ethiopia, India, Peru and
Vietnam (Young Lives).
