The evidence
Agricultural market intelligence for an irrigated valley: weekly price monitoring, storage and forecasts
A worked weekly market-intelligence system for paddy rice and onion in a Sahelian irrigated valley: seasonal norms and alert bands, valley-to-capital price transmission, marketing margins, a storage break-even calculator, and backtested forecast bands, accompanied by the bulletin template and data-collection design required for operational deployment.
Cost-benefit analysis of routine maintenance for an unpaved rural road network
A worked economic appraisal of moving 400 km of gravel roads from deferred maintenance to routine and periodic maintenance, with switching values, a tornado chart, Monte Carlo simulation, and a fiscal note. Parameters are cited from published sources or labelled as illustrative.
Economic Simulation Lab, an inspectable agent-based toy economy
A compact, reproducible agent-based model of households and firms, designed to analyze how a temporary contraction in household demand propagates and to what extent targeted transfers mitigate it. Version 0.2 is a mechanism-oriented model, not an empirically calibrated forecast.
