RESEARCH INTERESTS ______________________________________________________ 

My principal research interest lies in the microeconometric analysis of issues in development economics. I 

am particularly interested in the causes of poverty and food insecurity, the processes of poverty dynamics 

and the design and evaluation of interventions that would reduce it. Much of my recent work has focused on 

the determinants of human capital formation – particularly nutrition - both for their intrinsic value and 

because they are instrumental in reducing poverty. Understanding these determinants requires the modeling 

of the processes by which households allocate scarce resources amongst members. It requires understanding 

the operation of factor markets, especially labor markets. And, at an international level, trying to improve 

matters requires, in part, more appropriate and more appropriately targeted aid flows and through reforms to 

the global food security architecture such as the Food Aid Convention. While undertaking this work, I have 

organized a number of household surveys. This has entailed living in both a mud hut in western Kenya and a 

small town near Timbucktu, as well as developing longitudinal and cross-sectional household and 

community surveys in Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Mali, Namibia and Zimbabwe and all this 

has also led to an interest in methodological issues. I have given more than 100 formal presentations of this 

work, as well as informal presentations in developed and developing countries to audiences including cabinet 

ministers, senior officials in various governments and donor agencies and village leaders in rural Mali. The 

nutrition work was written up in a May 2004 issue of the Economist magazine. A loose grouping of my 

publications is:
