8th Lindau Nobel Meeting: Future of Economics and Causal Inference
Engaging with Nobel Laureates Jean Tirole, Joshua Angrist, and Simon Johnson on the future of economics.
I am an economist and PhD candidate at the University of Pretoria. My work asks how environmental pressure, the structure of employment, and the movement of people shape who gets access to good jobs in sub-Saharan Africa, and what policy can do about it.
I work with large administrative records, alongside household and labour force survey and geospatial data.
Theme 01
Environmental economics
How climate variability and energy disruption travel through an economy, into agricultural production, firm behaviour, and the security of people's work.
Theme 02
Jobs and inequality
Where earnings inequality actually comes from, how job quality is distributed across employers, and who is able to move up the ladder.
Theme 03
Migration
How migration status shapes labour market outcomes, and how climate stress and conflict together push people to move.
Affiliations
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Pretoria. I worked with UNU-WIDER on the SA-TIED programme and as a visiting PhD fellow for my research around administrative tax data.
