Graduate Research Fellow, International Institute for Tropical Agriculture
I worked with the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture to research the effects of fertilizer adulteration and associated risk and ambiguity on farmers' willingness to pay for fertilizer. I led a team of four enumerators to administer surveys to 358 farmers in 18 villages.
