Scaling up policies for agricultural trade

Our overarching research objective is to collect the data and build the toolkit needed to combine micro-level data from intervention trials with macro-level models of policy scale-up. We propose to generate a tractable trade model in which multiple agents produce and consume multiple goods and interact across markets via trade and migration. We will parameterise and calibrate the model with data from ongoing randomized controlled trials, supplemented with additional field data collection on agents and markets across an entire region of Kenya.
