My CV and
a Google Scholar search of my publications
|
Working
in collaboration with numerous students and colleagues I conduct research on
a range of topics related to poverty, economic development, and the
environment in developing regions of the world. My research has been funded
by the National Science Foundation
, USAID , the Ford Foundation , the World Bank and the International Food Policy Research Institute .
My current focus is the use of panel data to study dynamic processes of
household land and labor allocation in marginally productive agricultural
areas. I study the interactions between poverty and environmental degradation,
so as to help eliminate both. |

Natural
|
One
of my recent projects has been Natural Capital and Poverty Reduction, a collaboration
among scientists worldwide to better understand the connections between
agriculture, forest use and household livelihoods. The project was funded by
USAID as part of the AMA BASIS
CRSP project. |

Global |
A project
I’m currently involved with is the Global
Nutrition CRSP, which has its home in the Friedman School of Nutrition at Tufts
University. This is also a large
collaborative project involving numerous institutions and investigators. The
aim is to discover how policy interventions can most effectively achieve
large scale improvements in child nutrition outcomes. We work collaboratively
with a network of colleagues in Asia (primarily Nepal) and Africa (primarily
Uganda). The project is also funded by USAID.

Climate

I
also currently serve on the Executive Committee of the Purdue Climate Change Research Center,
a multidisciplinary group of researchers at Purdue guided by the mission of
better understanding the human and physical processes leading to global
climate change and the implications of a changing climate on life on earth.
Here is a primer
on the likely impacts of climate change on Indiana. |

Discounting |
Why
do economists discount the future?
What are the implications of doing so?
Here is some thinking on the
subject. |
