Research Abstract

I conducted empirical research on agricultural productivity and sustainability in tropical forest areas. Research in Kenya estimated the determinants of adoption of agroforestry (AF) and its effects using household survey data. I found that farmers who are wealthier but have sloping land tend to adopt such technologies, and that farmers who adopted AF enjoyed a higher productivity.
The research of the Brazil Amazon estimated technical change for multiple products using country-level data in Brazil Amazon. I found an increase in productivity in 1975-1995.
