Research

My dissertation investigates economic behaviour amongst internally displaced people using data collected in Northern Uganda in 2005 and 2007, during a time of conflict and mass displacement in the region. The research provides evidence of the impacts of conflict and displacement on individual and household behaviour as well as analyzes decision-making in this environment. + Thesis Abstract
