Sujets de masters

Looking forward to discussing with students ! My subjects of interests are :

  • Structural change, natural resources and agriculture : structural transformation from agriculture to industry in developing coutries: 1) developing countries can (over-) rely on food imported abroad; 2) the development of extractive industries generate rents and possibly hinders the competitiveness of other sectors. All these questions are explored using detailed product- or firms or employment data. Possibility to link with data on fire, rain or land-use
  • Food security and nutrition in developing countries. Pass-through from international prices to local prices. Cost and distribution of healthy diets. Concentration in the food systems
  • Developing countries' market access. Diversification vs specialization and vulnerability to supply chains disruptions. Trade policies (regional intergration, standards harmonization, FDI related tax exemptions; aid for trade). On trade or firm data.
  • Trade and income distribution : Trade liberalization impact households' welfare through various channels : consumption, wages and job opportunities, and for rural households, what they produce (food vs export crops). Match trade policies with household budget or labor surveys.
