جي باري ۾

منهنجو ڪم ترقي پذير ملڪن ۾ اقتصادي ترقي ، زراعت ، صنف ۽ ماپ جي سنگم تي ويٺو آهي. آئون وڏي پئماني تي گهريلو سروي ۽ جيوسپيٽيل ڊيٽا استعمال ڪندو آهيان اهو مطالعو ڪرڻ لاءِ ته گهراڻا ، فارم ۽ مارڪيٽون ڪيئن ڪم ڪن ٿيون ، خاص طور تي سيٽنگن ۾ جتي ڊيٽا گهٽ يا گڏ ڪرڻ مشڪل آهي. مون جنيوا ۾ گريجوئيٽ انسٽيٽيوٽ ۾ پي ايڇ ڊي حاصل ڪئي ۽ IFPRI، آءِ ايم ايف ۽ ورلڊ بينڪ ۾ سروي جي ڊيٽا سان ڪم ڪيو آهي.

مون Dollar Scholarsقائم ڪيو ، هڪ فائونڊيشن جيڪو بالغن کي ثبوت جي بنياد تي مالي تعليم فراهم ڪري ٿو جيڪي شايد ڪڏهن به ان تائين رسائي نه هجن. مون ان جي ويب سائيٽ ۽ گهڻ لساني کوئز پڻ تعمير ڪئي.

اقتصاديات کان اڳ ، مون ست سال هڪ پروفيشنل اي اسپورٽس مبصر جي حيثيت سان گذاريا ، 2004 ۽ 2011 جي وچ ۾ سيول کان مونزا تائين ڪائونٽر اسٽرائيڪ ۽ وارڪرافٽ III ٽورنامنٽس کي سڏيو. مان اڃا تائين Counter-Strike 2 ۽ Overwatch 2 کيڏندو آهيان ، ۽ EverQuest ۾ بارڊ جي حيثيت سان ڇاپو هڻندو آهيان.

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

ڇهن ملڪن ۾ ، فارم گهراڻا ڏڪار ۽ غير معمولي طور تي گلي واري دور ۾ خانداني مزدوري تي تمام گهڻو ڀاڙين ٿا. عورتن جي سربراهي وارا گهر گهڻو ڪري وڌيڪ محدود آهن.

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 سان (ورلڊ بئنڪ)

هڪ گهريلو سروي جي اندر هڪ بي ترتيب آزمائشي: سيٽلائيٽ تصويري تي فيلڊز جو سراغ لڳائڻ جي پي ايس سان ماپڻ کان 42 سيڪڙو گهٽ وقت ورتو ۽ خود رپورٽ ڪيل اندازن تي بهتر ٿي ويو ، جيتوڻيڪ اهو جي پي ايس کان گهٽ صحيح هو.
خلاصو

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.
