One strand of his research focuses on the roots of historical development and the economic effects of climate and resource extraction in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, he currently studies how the gradual expansion of land aridification and desertification, accelerated by climate change, affects the socio-economic growth of different areas in the world.
