Overview
Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Mississippi State University, where I joined after earning my Ph.D. from Iowa State University.
My research interests lie in the intersections between agricultural production economics, risk management, and environmental economics. I delve into the fundamental elements shaping farmers’ decision-making with regard to risk management, production, and technology choices, and examine the effects of these choices on environmental implications and social welfare. Employing robust microeconomic theory and comprehensive empirical data analysis, my work is dedicated to enhancing farmer welfare and promoting positive environmental outcomes through insightful and effective policy evaluations.
