Self-introduction
My research focuses on the empirical evaluation of policies for sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas. I regularly conduct household surveys and randomized controlled trials to collect primary research data. Methodologically, I have a strong interest in causal inference and applied econometrics. Exploring the application of these methods to analyze diverse data types has been a rewarding journey, and I am eager to share it with students.
