His research spans Development Economics, Economic History, and Urban and Regional Economics. He explores how historical events like colonial infrastructure projects (railroads, trade routes) and missionary activities shape long-term economic outcomes in Africa. His work often combines anthropometric data (stature, nutrition) with economic modeling to assess historical development patterns.

Recent publications analyze electrification in Burkina Faso, historical currency systems in East Africa, and the paradox of tall stature despite poverty in African populations. His methodological focus includes georeferenced data, narrative analysis, and market integration studies.
