Raymond Boadi Frempong serves as a Lecturer in Development Economics at the School of Political Studies, Catholic University of Lille. His research critically examines socioeconomic challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa through empirical economic analysis, with a focus on vulnerable populations and policy interventions.
His academic foundation includes a BA and MPhil in Economics from the University of Cape Coast, followed by a PhD in Economics from the University of Bayreuth. Prior to his current position, he held a postdoctoral researcher role at the Chair of Development Economics, University of Bayreuth.
Dr. Frempong's research expertise spans Development Economics, with specialized focus on child labor dynamics, rural agricultural systems, food-nutrition security linkages, and energy access impacts. His methodological approach combines rigorous econometric analysis with field-based data collection, particularly in Ghana and Malawi. Key contributions include investigations into women's bargaining power through education, agricultural subsidy efficacy, and pandemic socioeconomic disruptions.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2021-2025) reveals three dominant thematic clusters: (1) Agricultural policy impacts on nutrition and labor markets, (2) Energy adoption consequences for household welfare, and (3) Multidimensional pandemic effects across Sub-Saharan Africa. His work consistently bridges economics with public health and environmental sustainability, demonstrating interdisciplinary rigor through publications in Energy Economics, Nature Communications, and World Development.
Research funding has been secured from multiple organizations supporting his field investigations in Ghana and Malawi, though specific grant details remain unpublished. No formal scientific awards are publicly documented.
As an active member of ESPOL-Lab, Dr. Frempong contributes to research initiatives examining European and international political economies, with particular emphasis on development policy frameworks. His current projects investigate climate adaptation strategies for smallholder farmers and digital transformation resilience in African economies.
