Why do Countries differ in their Soil Erosion Rates?
Soil Erosion is one of the large challenges that contemporary agriculture faces. In this master thesis, several datasets on country level soil erosion will be explored using regression analysis.

Keywords: Soil Erosion; Global Datasets; Econometrics
Summary: Soil Erosion is one of the large challenges that contemporary agriculture faces. In this master thesis, several datasets on country level soil erosion will be explored using regression analysis. Potential explanations for differences in soil erosion include environmental, political, social, and economic variables.
Methods: Development of a simple economic concept, use of simple statistical and econometric techniques (OLS, optionally 2SLS)
Expected Results: The expected result is a better understanding of the factors that explain differences in soil erosion between countries. To this end, the relevant literature must be screened, data must be combined and analyzed, and the results should be discussed.
