Sabine LiebenehmThe overall objective of Sabine's research program is to improve our understanding of the economic decision-making among households living in rural and remote settings often exposed to an adverse environment with limited access to formal safety net mchanisms. Her focus is on two aspects that determine the risk management decision: (i) the impact of adverse risks, and (ii) the interaction with people's preferences and perceptions. To assess these research questions, she applies empirical microeconomic strategies, leveraging rich data sets obtained from household surveys, lab-in-the-field experiments, social network studies, and climate data observations. Geographically, She works primarily with rural agricultural households in Southeast Asia and West Africa, and more recently with remote First Nation communities in Northern Canada. Read More Read Less
