Alexander Buriticá Casanova

I study the gap between technology access and welfare outcomes in agriculture, with a focus on impact evaluation, food security, and post-conflict rural development across Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa.

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Applied Economics and Impact Evaluation at the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT (CGIAR), and hold a PhD in Economics from Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá.

My work has been published in journals including Agricultural Systems, Journal of Rural Studies, and Environmental and Resource Economics, and I have contributed to multi-country research initiatives with CGIAR and international development organizations.
