AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the link between economic growth and agriculture, from the field in developing countries.
The Development Economics Lab studies the relationship between economic growth and agriculture, with today's economic development in developing countries in mind.
Using economics, the lab analyzes how new agricultural technologies are transferred and diffused, and how this leads to agricultural development.
The lab treats fieldwork in developing countries as essential to empirical research.
Faculty members also work on analyzing choice behavior using stated preference methods, and on the economic analysis of nutrition problems in developing countries.
