I am delighted that my thesis, "The poverty-environment trap: Climate change, natural resources and population dynamics in Sub-Saharan Africa," has received the Prize of the Association Française de Science Economique (AFSE)!

The first chapter of my PhD entitled **Who carries the burden of climate change? Heterogeneous impact of droughts in sub-Saharan Africa** has just been published in the *American Journal of Agricultural Economics*. doi.org/10.1111/ajae... Here is a summary of my findings!

The impact of the drought on consumption is restricted to the poorest households in both countries.

In Ethiopia, the richest households increase their time devoted to non-agricultural activities (sending a member to migrate for work, for example), and thanks to the higher labor productivity in this sector, they increase their real income.

My results show that the droughts significantly increase inequality in both countries. Low-income households experienced a drop in real income of 40%, while high-income households increased their income in Ethiopia and were not affected in Malawi.

In this paper, I measure the causal impact of the droughts of 2015 in Ethiopia and 2016 in Malawi on the distribution of income using a recent empirical method that generalizes the difference-in-differences method to the entire income distribution.
