Schaefer Professor of International Studies\nProfessor of Economics\, Global Health and Public Policy\nDepartment of Economics\, Duke University \nDuncan Thomas investigates the inter-relationships between health\, human capital and socio-economic status with a focus on the roles that individual\, family and community factors play in improving levels of health and well-being across the globe. Much of this work highlights resource allocation and decision-making within households and families. His research uses data from large-scale population based longitudinal surveys that he has designed and fielded in collaboration with Elizabeth Frankenberg and other colleagues in the U.S.\, Indonesia and Mexico. These include the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS)\, the Work and Iron Status Evaluation (WISE)\, the Study of the Tsunami Aftermath and Recovery (STAR) and the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS). He was elected vice president of the Population Association of America (PAA) and\, prior to that\, was elected to the PAA Board of Directors. He is a fellow\, past president and board member of the Bureau for Research in the Economic Analysis of Development (BREAD) and he currently directs the NBER Development Economics program.

Peter first worked with the RLMS in 1997 when she received a funded scholarship as part of an RLMS training program to introduce Russian economists and sociologists from outside Moscow RLMS and to longitudinal research methods. She has been working with the RLMS ever since that date and uses these longitudinal data in much of her work. She has collaborated with Barry Popkin in fielding the RLMS since the mid2000s. She was actively involved in the design and implementation of the Ukrainian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey\, the Survey of RLMS Local Administrations\, and the survey of all employers of RLMS wage workers. Currently she is editing the symposium of cross-disciplinary research articles based on RLMS (forthcoming in Economics of Transition). \nPeter’s advisees work on the spatial discontinuity in demographic outcomes\, the factors of migration assimilation\, the reversal of the gender gap in educational attainment\, and intergenerational economic mobility. She teaches a PhD-level class\, Labor Economics\, which is a population course approved by CPC. The course attracts students from various disciplines\, including economics\, public policy\, health policy and management\, sociology\, and city and regional planning. \nKlara Peter’s research will take advantage of dynamic\, multi-level\, cross-spatial\, inter-generational longitudinal analysis in understanding population-related outcomes. In particular\, her research will focus on some of the methodological issues in causal inference\, including the marginal treatment effect method and the spatial discontinuity design as applied to the distributional returns to human capital and other social outcomes.

She earned her B.S. in Environmental Economics and Policy from the University of California\, Berkeley (1998)\, and both her M.S. and Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of Maryland\, College Park (2001 and 2005\, respectively). \nValerie has ten years of experience working on topics related to migration and poverty dynamics and the consequences of climate variability on household welfare in developing countries. She has extensive survey experience\, particularly in the area of tracking migrants from longstanding panel surveys (e.g.\, in Ethiopia and Pakistan). Her research has culminated into several peer-reviewed publications\, notably in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, Nature Climate Change\, and World Development. She also serves on the Environmental Change and Migration Thematic Working Group for the Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development (KNOMAD) hosted by the World Bank.
