| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research project explores how land policies impact household socioeconomic conditions in Cambodia. To do so, I will use survey data, econometrics, and geographical information systems. I will interview members of NPOs, and community leaders to further understand the impact of the land policies.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
I keep working on two of the manuscripts of this project and finalized one of papers. The manuscripts that I am working on relate different land policies, like community forestry with household socioeconomic conditions. The finalized project was recently accepted for publication in an internationally recognized peer reviewed journal. In that paper,I combine deforestation images with geolocated child health data. Using these data, I implemented econometric methods to understand if there is an association between exposure to forest loss during critical periods and current health status. I find that children born to women living in areas that experience deforestation a year before their conception are more likely to be shorter and thinner for their age.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Due to personal reasons, I was not able to disseminate the findings of one of the papers of this project in an International Congress. My paper was accepted for presentation in July, but I could not attend to the event. Then, my wife’s pregnancy and the preparation of the birth of my first child also made me postpone some travels abroad and changed my plans on potential dates of traveling. On the other hand, one of the papers linked to this projects got published during this academic year and that was faster than I expected.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the first months of the academic year,I am planning on further analysing the data and finalize writing one of the manuscripts that are part of this project. I'm also going to apply for international conference presentations. Later in the year, I plan on finalizing the third manuscript and present the results of my studies in international conferences. I also intend to submit the manuscripts in internationally recognized peer review journals.
