Land policies and household economic situations in Cambodia

我正在为这个项目撰写各种论文。我已经开始写两篇关于柬埔寨土地政策的论文的手稿。第一个是关于森林砍伐和儿童营养问题。我将精确的森林损失数据与柬埔寨人口健康调查的地理编码数据结合起来，调查森林砍伐对儿童发育迟缓的影响。森林砍伐主要是由经济活动驱动的，如经济土地会议。我发现，生活在森林砍伐率高的地区的女孩更有可能发育迟缓，而男孩则不会。发育不良是衡量长期营养不良的标准。我还发现，生活在森林砍伐率高的地区的女孩更容易发烧。我最终完成了手稿的写作，在SSRN上有一个预出版的在线版本。这篇手稿目前正在一本同行评议的经济学期刊上接受审查，我将在南非开普敦举行的国际卫生经济学协会第15届世界大会上发表演讲。第二篇论文是关于社区林业和粮食消费。我运用差异中的差异方法来理解社区森林如何影响食物消费。我发现，生活在靠近这些森林地区的家庭的食物消费水平高于那些没有森林的家庭。我仍在研究这份手稿，并在东北大学的一个研讨会上介绍了这项研究的初步结果。

I am working on developing various papers from this project. I have started writing the manuscript of two papers related to land policies in Cambodia. The first one deals with deforestation and child nutrition. I combine precise forest loss data with geocoded data from the Cambodian Demographic Health Surveys to investigate the impact of deforestation on child stunting. Deforestation is mostly driven by economic activities such as Economic Land Consessions. I find that girls living in areas with high deforestation rates are more likely to be stunted whereas boys are not. Stunted is a measurement for long-term undernourishment. I also find that girls living in areas with high rates of deforestation are more likely to have fever.I finalized writing the manuscript and there is a pre-publication online version available on SSRN. This manuscript is corrently under review in a peer-reviewed economic journal and I will deliver a talk in the 15th World Congress of the International Health Economics Association in Cape Town, South Africa. The second paper is about community forestry and food consumption. I apply a difference in differences approach to understand how community forest impact food consumption. I find that households living in areas near to these forests have higher levels of food consumption than their counterparts without. I am still working on this manuscript and I have presented the preliminary findings of this study in a seminar at Tohoku University.
