His principal interest lies in assessing the effects of perceptions of future violence and actual past experiences of violence on households' decisions regarding consumption expenditure, child school enrollment, investment choices, and risky cash crop cultivation. Furthermore, he focuses on the role of social capital in livelihood development, employing empirical analysis guided by prospect theory and influenced by various psycho-social phenomena.
