This thesis explores the intersection of development, environmental, and behavioural economics. The first chapter discusses the effect of economic adversity of self-esteem levels. We find that exposure to drought, particularly during adolescence, has a negative affect on the self-esteem of both the children of farmers, and farmers themselves. We additionally find some causal evidence of the relationship between parent and child self-esteem, suggesting that intergenerational transmission may take place within the household. Chapter 2 then determines the effect of peer choices on decision-making at the farm-level. We find that peer adaptation decisions have a positive and significant impact on the adaptation choices of farmers. Chapter 3 concludes by descriptively identifying the relationship between different behavioural measures, again within an agrarian context. I find that noncognitive skills have a strong relationship with gender and social networks, and time preferences in particular have a strong relationship with noncognitive skills.
