Barbara Entwisle, CPC Fellow and Director and Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has received funding for the research project “Modeling Household Dynamics and Land Use.” This research project uses an empirically informed agent-based simulation approach to examine the dynamic interrelationships among migration, household assets, and land use within a larger and changing social and biophysical environment in Nang Rong, Thailand. Funding is provided through February 2009 by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, a branch of the National Institutes of Health. Co-investigators are CPC Fellow Ronald R. Rindfuss, UNC Professor of Sociology, and CPC Fellow Stephen J. Walsh, UNC Professor of Geography.
