Visiting Professor at NRI
Livelihoods and Institutions Department
Professor Tilman Brück is a leading expert for the study of individual behaviour and welfare in crisis settings. Tilman is a Visiting Professor at the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich, a Professor of Economic Development and Food Security at Humboldt-University of Berlin, Head of the Research Group “Economic Development and Food Security” at the Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops in Großbeeren near Berlin, and Founder and Director of ISDC - International Security and Development Center in Berlin (www.isdc.org). Tilman is also a Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Households in Conflict Network (www.hicn.org). His research focuses on the behaviour and the welfare of poor and vulnerable households in insecure, violent, fragile and humanitarian emergency settings, often collecting and analysing micro-level panel data and conducting impact evaluations. Tilman is the principal investigator of the Life in Kyrgyzstan Study (https://lifeinkyrgyzstan.org/) and the Life with Corona Survey (https://lifewithcorona.org/) – and a regular advisor to governments, international organisations and NGOs. He was previously Professor of Food Security, State Fragility and Climate Change at the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich, Director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Professor of Development Economics at Humboldt-University of Berlin, and a Founding Member of the Global Young Academy (https://globalyoungacademy.net/). Tilman obtained a doctorate in economics from the University of Oxford.
Professor Brück’s research focuses on how people cope with extreme adversity, from violent conflict, insecurity, state fragility and weak institutions to natural disasters and the impacts of climate change. He has pioneered the quantitative micro-level analysis of violent conflict, developing methods to identify the causal impacts of shocks and uncertainty on human behaviour and welfare. In recent years, he has expanded this view of variable ‘conflict exposure’ at the individual level to other settings of extreme uncertainty, such as natural disasters and pandemics. He has also developed tools for conducting rigorous impact evaluations to learn if and how interventions in conflict and fragile settings can improve food security and human development. Professor Brück values long-term longitudinal (or panel) studies and has contributed to many such studies around the world, leading, for example, a panel established in 2010 in Kyrgyzstan. Many of his research projects combine multiple methods and data sources as a way of learning about important contextual and institutional factors.
