Research Agricultural Economist
I am a research agricultural economist working on policy-relevant questions related to rural communities, environmental change, conservation, and agricultural policy. My research uses applied microeconomics, econometrics, geospatial data, and experimental methods to understand how policy, environmental conditions, and economic systems shape outcomes for rural people and places.
My current work includes research on rural natural amenities, conservation practice persistence, climate adaptation, and the use of behavioral tools in agricultural and environmental policy.
