Assessing irrigation expansion in Ethiopia: A nationwide analysis (PhD topic)

Assessing irrigation expansion in Ethiopia: A nationwide analysis (PhD topic)

In his research, Simon assesses the expansion of irrigation technology in Ethiopia. For this, he conducted a meta-analysis on irrigation technologies of household farms in Ethiopia to investigate differences in technical efficiency and production between irrigating and non-irrigating farmers. The second part of his work is to analyze the national irrigation policies of Ethiopia using a CGE-model. The goal of this analysis is to assess the impact on agricultural production, household incomes, and international trade resulting from irrigation technology diffusion in the country.
