बारेमा

मेरो काम विकासशील देशहरूमा आर्थिक विकास, कृषि, लिङ्ग र मापनको चौराहामा बस्छ। म घरहरू, फार्महरू र बजारहरूले कसरी काम गर्छन् भनेर अध्ययन गर्न ठूलो मात्रामा घरेलु सर्वेक्षण र भू-स्थानिक डेटा प्रयोग गर्दछु, विशेष गरी सेटिङहरूमा जहाँ डेटा दुर्लभ वा सङ्कलन गर्न गाह्रो छ। मैले जेनेभाको ग्रेजुएट इन्स्टिच्युटमा पीएचडी हासिल गरें र IFPRI, आईएमएफ र विश्व बैंकमा सर्वेक्षण डेटाको साथ काम गरें।

मैले Dollar Scholarsस्थापना गरें, एक फाउन्डेसन जसले वयस्कहरूलाई प्रमाणमा आधारित वित्तीय शिक्षा प्रदान गर्दछ जुन यसको पहुँच कहिल्यै नहुन सक्छ। मैले यसको वेबसाइट र बहुभाषी क्विज पनि बनाएँ।

अर्थशास्त्र भन्दा पहिले, मैले एक पेशेवर ईस्पोर्ट्स कमेन्टेटरको रूपमा सात वर्ष बिताएँ, 2004 र 2011 को बीचमा सियोलदेखि मोन्जासम्म काउन्टर-स्ट्राइक र वारक्राफ्ट III टूर्नामेन्टहरू बोलाउँदै। म अझै पनि काउन्टर-स्ट्राइक २ र ओभरवाच २ खेल्छु, र एभरक्वेस्टमा बार्डको रूपमा छापा मार्छु।

Spreading the love around: how does agricultural labor demand respond to temporary weather shocks?

छ देशहरूमा, किसान परिवारहरू खडेरी र असामान्य रूपमा ओसिलो अवधिको समयमा पारिवारिक श्रममा धेरै निर्भर छन्। महिला नेतृत्व भएका परिवारहरू उल्लेखनीय रूपमा बढी सीमित छन्।

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

Sydney Gourlay (विश्व बैंक)

एक घरेलू सर्वेक्षण भित्र एक यादृच्छिक परीक्षण: उपग्रह इमेजरीमा ट्रेसिंग क्षेत्रहरू जीपीएसको साथ मापन गर्नु भन्दा 42% कम समय लाग्यो र स्व-रिपोर्ट गरिएको अनुमानमा सुधार भयो, यद्यपि यो जीपीएस भन्दा कम सटीक थियो।

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.
