- Economics of agriculture, price dynamics, technological change, applied econometrics, economics of trade, welfare and policy analysis
My research is centered in the economics of agriculture, notably commodity markets and the economic valuation of food. In addition, I do work on risk management and its role in agricultural and food markets. I also look at the role of environmental policy on commodity production and markets, including risk mitigation and the role of climate change.
