Current research/project(s)

Road accidents in Ghana have become very alarming in recent times. A major issue of policy concern is whether effective policing can reduce the number of accidents in Ghana. In this work, I use data from Ghana Police service to identify the effect of increasing the number of policemen on the road, on the number of accidents recorded.
