Dwar
Ix-xogħol tiegħi jinsab fl-intersezzjoni bejn l-iżvilupp ekonomiku, l-agrikoltura, is-sess, u l-kejl f'pajjiżi li qed jiżviluppaw. Nuża stħarriġ kbir tad-djar u data ġeospazjali biex nistudja kif jaħdmu djar, irziezet u swieq, speċjalment f'ambjenti fejn id-dejta hija rari jew diffiċli biex tinġabar. Irċievejt il-PhD tiegħi fl-Istitut tal-Gradwati f'Ġinevra u ħdimt mad-dejta ta' stħarriġ fl- IFPRI, il-FMI, u l-Bank Dinji.
Waqqaft Dollar Scholars, fondazzjoni li tipprovdi edukazzjoni finanzjarja bbażata fuq evidenza għal adulti li forsi qatt ma kellhom aċċess għaliha. Ħloqt ukoll is-sit elettroniku u l-kwizz multilingwi tagħha.
Qabel ma daħalt fl-ekonomija, qattajt seba' snin bħala kummentatur professjonali tal-eSports, ngħid it-tournaments ta' Counter-Strike u Warcraft III minn Seoul sa Monza bejn l-2004 u l-2011. Għadni nilgħab Counter-Strike 2 u Overwatch 2, u nagħmel raids bħala bard f'EverQuest.

Spreading the love around: how does agricultural labor demand respond to temporary weather shocks?
F'sitt pajjiżi, id-djar tal-biedja jiddependu ħafna fuq ix-xogħol tal-familja waqt nixfa u perjodi mhux tas-soltu tax-xita. Id-djar immexxija minn nisa huma ħafna aktar limitati.

This is the first study to separately identify labor demand responses to both unanticipated droughts and periods of above normal rainfall for three forms of agricultural labor that are central to agricultural production: family, hired, and mutual exchange labor. I use a simple parcel‑level model with three labor types and monitoring costs to study how family labor is reallocated across parcels during drought. In six countries I find small but statistically significant decreases in the share of hired labor during droughts and during periods of above-normal rainfall, indicating a strong reliance on family labor during shocks. I find that farm households appear to lean heavily on exchange labor by using exchange labor more frequently during periods of above-normal rainfall. Due to the heavy reliance on family labor, household size and the gender of the household head are important moderating factors. Women-headed households appear to be significantly more constrained in how they apply labor on family farms. My findings underscore that these labor types are distinct in how they respond to temporary weather shocks. The results of my analysis have important implications for policies targeted at stimulating agricultural labor markets.

Assessing land area from above: evidence from Armenia
Prova randomizzata fi ħdan stħarriġ tad-dar: it-traċċar ta' kampijiet fuq immaġini satellitari ħa 42% inqas ħin milli tkejjel bil-GPS u tejjeb l-istimi rrappurtati minnhom, għalkemm kien inqas preċiż mill-GPS.

Using primary data collected by the World Bank in Armenia as part of a randomized controlled trial, we evaluate the use of a satellite image tracing to measure agricultural land in the context of a household survey. Satellite tracing offers several benefits, including a large reduction in the cost of measuring land, the potential to measure more parcels of land, and improved security for survey enumerators. We find the satellite tracing approach yields consistent results, and requires 42% less time than measuring with GPS, and provides value-added over self-reported estimates. Due to the potential cost savings, and other non-trivial benefits, we suggest that land measurement via satellite image tracing offers significant value, though is not as accurate as land area estimates conducted with a handheld GPS.

Huwa tassew wieħed mill-aqwa, jekk mhux l-aqwa professur li qatt kelli fl-American University. Jagħmel ħafna sforz biex il-klassi tuża eżempji reali ta' data minflok biss problemi ta' 'Sally għandha 4 tuffieħ u Dave għandha 15 larinġ'... Huwa kollox li professur tal-kulleġġ għandu jkun u aktar.
