Post-Doctoral Research Associate vacancy, available from summer 2010. More >
Welcome to my home page. I am one of a host of Cornell faculty who teach and do research in poverty and international development.
My research program also has strong links to international, agricultural, environmental and micro economics as well as to applied econometrics.
The new Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future is a major new program aimed at promotig cutting-edge research on sustainable development in collaboration with key external partners to achieve significant real-world impact.
I will be directing the 2008-11 Cornell Institute for the Social Sciences theme project on “Persistent Poverty and Upward Mobility.” Sign up to be a network affiliate if you would like to participate in the various events the project will sponsor, especially in academic year 2009-10.
For a brief overview of my research motives and approaches, visit this Cornell Chronicle article entitled, "Chris Barrett takes a collaborative approach to the world's poorest people," published April 18, 2006.
Please visit the sites listed on the sidebar menu for more information on my research, graduate students, working papers, books, my background and more. For a more abbreviated introduction, try my Department Faculty Home Page.
With Alex Travis of Cornell's Vet School and is new Center for Wildlife Conservation, I am co-organizing a workshop February 4-5, 2010, on Biodiversity Conservation and Poverty Traps, drawing together researchers from both the conservation biology and development economics communities to explore the empirical intersections between these two interrelated research areas. We intend to publish the resulting set of papers.
