Abstract

In spite of tremendous progress in income generation, school enrollment, and agricultural production, developing economies face significant challenges to enhance welfare for their populaces. Although international migration has increased income, there are unknown effects of migration that may have various implications. Agricultural production has increased, but farmer productivity remains sub-optimal due to information and credit constraints. Though more students are enrolling, schools are demonstrating poor productivity as students have low levels of learning. Understanding the impacts of migration, optimizing farmer productivity and increasing their income, and improving school productivity are critical issues to be explored to formulate effective policies for facilitating egalitarian economic development. I explore these issues in my research through empirical microeconomics and impact evaluation.
