I’m also deeply grateful to my advisors @johanneshaushofer.com and Anna Tompsett who have been incredibly supportive throughout this stage.
This work shows how migration can serve as an adaptation strategy to extreme weather shocks in agriculture—especially when strong networks reduce the cost of moving. We study this dynamic in the context of international migration from El Salvador to the U.S.

Big thanks to my amazing coauthors—grateful for every step of this collaboration.
