My CV and

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 labor allocation and land use in environmentally sensitive areas of
the humid and semi-humid tropics. I study the interactions between poverty
and environmental degradation, so as to help eliminate both. |

Capital and Poverty Reduction, a four-year collaboration among scientists
worldwide to better understand the connections between agriculture, forest
use and household livelihoods. The project is funded by USAID as part of the AMA BASIS CRSP project. |

better understanding the human and physical processes leading to global
climate change and the implications of a changing climate on life on earth.
