About
Dr Sarobidy Rakotonarivo is an environmental socio-economist with an interdisciplinary background in natural resource management. Her current postdoctoral research involves the use of framed field experiments and scenario analyses to understand why and when conflicting stakeholders are willing to cooperate and how policies affect their behaviour. She received a double PhD degree in Environmental Forestry and in Environmental and Resource economics from Bangor university and the university of Copenhagen in 2016 (Erasmus Mundus Forest for Nature and Society joint Doctorate programme). Her PhD thesis examined the true local welfare costs of conservation restrictions in Madagascar using multi-disciplinary methods (discrete choice experiments and qualitative deliberative approaches). Prior to her PhD, she used the lens of political ecology to analyse the institutional arrangements and land-use conflicts within a REDD+ pilot project in Tanzania.
