Research Experience
Ph.D. Research, February 2015 - Present
With a focus on maize-based production systems in Tanzania, my three-essay dissertation analyzes: i) the effects of the National Agricultural Input Voucher Scheme (NAIVS) on sustainable intensification (SI) of maize production; ii) the impacts of SI of maize production on productivity and income; and iii) the effects of SI of maize production on the nutritional outcomes of children under age five. Data from the Tanzania National Panel Survey (TNPS) are used for the empirical analyses.
